SACRAMENTO, CA

Sacramento, CA is the contributor city on $159,401,418 in federal receipts across 392,963 FEC itemizations. LobbyVault pulls those lines from FEC.gov filings and groups them by city and state. As California’s capital, Sacramento hosts association offices, committee mail rooms, and household streets that can share the same city string. The total is a tagged-address rollup rather than a headcount of Sacramento residents who donated.

Key figures

  • Sacramento, CA contributor-city receipts total $159,401,418.
  • That sum sits on 392,963 FEC contribution itemizations.
  • Other California city strings are not merged into this hub.
  • PAC and joint-fundraising addresses can appear in the city field.
  • ZIP pages regroup the same federal filings by postal code.

A capital city field, not a Bay Area rollup

One hundred fifty-nine million four hundred one thousand four hundred eighteen dollars is the sum of itemizations whose city text is Sacramento and whose state is CA. The matching line count is 392,963. San Francisco, Los Angeles, and other California strings are stored separately. They are not folded into this total. This page stays with the literal city field so the table can be checked against the public file.

Trade associations and committees keep Sacramento mailing addresses because they work the legislature even when donors live elsewhere in the state. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents. The $159,401,418 figure is therefore a contributor-city rollup. It is not a statement about how many people who sleep in the city wrote federal checks, and the 392,963 lines are not unique persons.

Nothing on this page estimates how Sacramento voted, which candidates the receipts supported, or whether a listed street is a home. Occupation and recipient committee live on other FEC fields. The supported path is the Sacramento city table, then ZIP pages, then the cities index. The two facts to carry are $159,401,418 and 392,963 itemizations.

What 392,963 itemizations imply

A count of 392,963 lines means the Sacramento total is built from a thick file, not a few oversized transfers. Individual receipts and committee receipts share the same city column. LobbyVault does not strip one type before adding the dollars. If the filing says Sacramento, CA, both the amount and the line stay in this bucket.

Free-text city fields also produce spelling splits. A neighboring town name would not land here. The 392,963 records on this hub are the ones stored as SACRAMENTO. That is a feature of FEC disclosure, not a LobbyVault filter. Matching another publisher’s β€œCapitol region” number requires seeing which labels they included.

California FPPC accounts are not inside $159,401,418. This hub is federal itemizations labeled Sacramento, CA: 392,963 records. A Capitol-region briefing that blends suburbs is a different object unless those labels are added on purpose. Keep this page’s two facts unchanged when you cite it.
