SAN MATEO, CA
FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city SAN MATEO, CA sum to $52,488,589 across 105,268 contributions.

Original reports remain on FEC.gov.
Key figures

What $52,488,589 on the San Mateo city field covers
$52,488,589 divided by 105,268 is about $499 per itemized line. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. FEC.gov does not publish a median, a unique-donor count, or a party split on this city aggregate. LobbyVault reports $52,488,589 and 105,268.
San Mateo County’s namesake city sits on this string as a mid-Peninsula filing city, not as a score of countywide races. 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.
A San Mateo total of $52,488,589 does not absorb Foster City, Burlingame, or Hillsborough. Those names are other city strings when filers typed them. State CA stays on the citation so SAN MATEO, CA is not merged with San Mateo County as a whole. The 105,268 lines and the mean near $499 describe this key only.
San Mateo is a contributor city, not a county roll-up
The city is the contributor-city value on FEC itemizations. Filers type it. LobbyVault does not geocode San Mateo against a municipal boundary file. A work address, a mail drop, or a household in a neighboring place that still typed SAN MATEO can sit inside $52,488,589.
Amended reports can raise or lower both $52,488,589 and 105,268. If the live San Mateo hub reprints different figures, the newer FEC extract wins.

Questions
- What is San Mateo’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?
- Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city SAN MATEO, CA total $52,488,589 across 105,268 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 Mateo residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.
- How should I read San Mateo’s 105,268 contributions?
- LobbyVault counts 105,268 itemized lines for SAN MATEO, CA. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding donors. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $52,488,589.
- Does San Mateo’s total include the rest of San Mateo County?
- No. This hub is the city string SAN MATEO, CA. Foster City, Burlingame, and Hillsborough are separate city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $52,488,589 is the SAN MATEO, CA match. The 105,268 lines follow the same rule. County labels are not an FEC dimension on this hub.
- Where do the San Mateo facts come from?
- Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $52,488,589 and 105,268 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 $499 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.
