REDWOOD CITY, CA

FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city REDWOOD CITY, CA sum to $16.5M across 63,289 contributions. Redwood City is a San Mateo County Peninsula string. Redwood Shores is a neighborhood label, not this packet’s city key unless filers typed REDWOOD CITY. San Francisco rows that list SAN FRANCISCO sit on another hub. Atherton and San Carlos are neighboring keys. The table is a contributor-city aggregate, not a unique-donor census and not a party score. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Key figures

  • $16,466,721 and 63,289 lines are the REDWOOD CITY, CA packet facts.
  • Mean near $260 is arithmetic, not a median resident.
  • Redwood City is not San Francisco on the FEC city key.
  • If the live hub disagrees, the newer FEC extract controls.

63,289 lines behind REDWOOD CITY's $16.5M

REDWOOD CITY shows 63,289 itemizations behind $16,466,721. That is a receipt count, not a unique-person census. A file this long at $16.5M is a high-volume city field: many itemized rows, not a handful of oversized transfers. The implied mean is about $260.

Redwood City is a San Mateo County Peninsula string. Redwood Shores is a neighborhood label, not this packet’s city key unless filers typed REDWOOD CITY. San Francisco rows that list SAN FRANCISCO sit on another hub. Atherton and San Carlos are neighboring keys. The city total can include a PAC or joint-fundraising committee address when that is the city filers typed. LobbyVault does not recode those rows out of the city string. Read $16,466,721 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of Redwood City gave. The 63,289 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints Redwood City together with San Carlos, Atherton, and Palo Alto, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $16,466,721 on 63,289 REDWOOD CITY, CA rows, mean near $260. Keep the stored spelling REDWOOD CITY in the citation.

Why REDWOOD CITY on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Redwood City give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city REDWOOD CITY, CA total $16,466,721 across 63,289 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. REDWOOD CITY, CA is the stored Peninsula string. San Francisco is a different city key.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $16,466,721. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $260 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city REDWOOD CITY, CA?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city REDWOOD CITY, CA total $16,466,721 across 63,289 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That figure is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of people who live in Redwood City. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $260 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
Is Redwood City counted as San Francisco on this extract?
No. REDWOOD CITY, CA is the stored Peninsula string. San Francisco is a different city key. LobbyVault counts 63,289 itemized contributions for REDWOOD CITY, CA against $16,466,721. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 63,289 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.
Does the Redwood City total include only residents?
No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed REDWOOD CITY with state CA. Office addresses and mail that list Redwood City can be part of $16,466,721 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 63,289-line count follows the same rule.
Are Redwood City numbers from FEC.gov?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $16,466,721 and 63,289 lines for REDWOOD CITY, CA. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from CA are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.

City is the contributor city on FEC itemizations. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents.
