SAN JOSE, CA

FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city SAN JOSE, CA sum to $68,874,731 across 399,162 contributions. San Jose’s dollar total sits near Bloomfield Hills, but the line count is among the highest in this batch. The table is a contributor-city aggregate, not a unique-donor census. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Key figures

  • San Jose’s federal itemized city book is $68,874,731 across 399,162 contributions.
  • The mean near $173 marks a high-volume, lower-average file on this extract.
  • Cite contributor city, dollars, and line count together.
  • Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

A high-volume South Bay book

Three hundred ninety-nine thousand one hundred sixty-two lines produce $68,874,731. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $173. That is a volume shape: many receipts, a lower average than cities with similar dollars and fewer lines.

Volume is not unique people. Repeat givers can inflate 399,162 without adding donors. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. $68,874,731 is still the dollar sum of those lines.

San Francisco, Palo Alto, Los Altos, and Santa Clara are other Bay Area city strings. They are not inside $68,874,731 unless the filer typed SAN JOSE. Santa Clara County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up.

San Jose is not the Bay Area

Adding San Francisco, Oakland, or Palo Alto to San Jose and calling the sum “Bay Area” is a recode this packet does not publish. Keep SAN JOSE, CA as the citation: $68,874,731 and 399,162 lines.

A PAC or joint-fundraising committee that listed San Jose stays in this bucket. LobbyVault does not strip those rows. Recheck both facts on the live hub after a later extract.

Questions

What is San Jose’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?
Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city SAN JOSE, CA total $68,874,731 across 399,162 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of San Jose residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.
Why is San Jose’s line count high relative to the dollars?
This extract stores 399,162 itemized lines behind $68,874,731, a mean near $173. That is a volume book: many receipts, a lower average than cities with similar dollars and fewer lines. The packet has no unique-donor figure. Quote both facts together rather than the mean alone.
Does San Jose’s total include San Francisco or Palo Alto?
No, unless the filer typed SAN JOSE. San Francisco, Palo Alto, and Los Altos are separate city strings. $68,874,731 is the SAN JOSE, CA match. The 399,162 lines follow the same rule. Bay Area labels are not an FEC dimension on this hub. Bay Area labels are not an FEC dimension on this San Jose hub.
Where do the San Jose facts come from?
Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $68,874,731 and 399,162 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. California non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $173 is arithmetic from those two packet numbers.

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