SAN RAFAEL, CA

FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city SAN RAFAEL, CA sum to $18.6M across 92,065 contributions. San Rafael is a Marin volume book in Marin County north of the Golden Gate: 92,065 lines against $18.6M produces a mean near $202 from those two packet facts. 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

  • $18,553,871 and 92,065 lines are the SAN RAFAEL, CA packet facts.
  • Mean near $202 is arithmetic, not a median resident.
  • San Rafael is not San Francisco on the FEC city key.
  • If the live hub disagrees, the newer FEC extract controls.

92,065 lines behind SAN RAFAEL's $18.6M

SAN RAFAEL shows 92,065 itemizations behind $18,553,871. That is a receipt count, not a unique-person census. A file this long at $18.6M is a high-volume city field: many itemized rows, not a handful of oversized transfers. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving. The implied mean is about $202.

San Rafael is a Marin County volume field. San Francisco rows that list SAN FRANCISCO sit on another hub. Mill Valley and Novato are neighboring Marin strings, not subsets. 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 $18,553,871 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of SAN RAFAEL gave. The 92,065 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints SAN RAFAEL together with Mill Valley, San Anselmo, and Novato, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $18,553,871 on 92,065 SAN RAFAEL, CA rows, mean near $202. Keep the stored spelling SAN RAFAEL in the citation.

Why SAN RAFAEL on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in San Rafael give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city SAN RAFAEL, CA total $18,553,871 across 92,065 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. No. SAN RAFAEL, CA is the stored Marin string. San Francisco is a different city key.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $18,553,871. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $202 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city SAN RAFAEL, CA?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city SAN RAFAEL, CA total $18,553,871 across 92,065 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 San Rafael. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $202 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
Is San Rafael counted as San Francisco on this extract?
No. SAN RAFAEL, CA is the stored Marin string. San Francisco is a different city key. LobbyVault counts 92,065 itemized contributions for SAN RAFAEL, CA against $18,553,871. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 92,065 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.
Does the San Rafael total include only residents?
No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed SAN RAFAEL with state CA. Office addresses and mail that list San Rafael can be part of $18,553,871 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 92,065-line count follows the same rule.
Are San Rafael numbers from FEC.gov?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $18,553,871 and 92,065 lines for SAN RAFAEL, 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.
