Santa Barbara’s federal city pair

Two hundred thirty-three thousand fifty-five lines produce $65,428,728. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $281. That mean is arithmetic. This packet has no median.

Santa Monica, Goleta, Montecito, and Carpinteria are other California city strings. They are not inside $65,428,728 unless the filer typed SANTA BARBARA. Santa Barbara County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up.

Office addresses can share the Santa Barbara city field with household streets. Totals can include a PAC or joint-fundraising address when that is what filers typed. The 233,055 lines are receipts, not unique persons.

City, not county, not Santa Monica

Santa Monica is a separate Los Angeles County hub. The similar names are a citation trap. This book is SANTA BARBARA, CA: $65,428,728 and 233,055 lines.

Keep the state CA on the key. Recheck both facts on the live hub after a later extract.

Questions

What is Santa Barbara’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?
Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city SANTA BARBARA, CA total $65,428,728 across 233,055 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Santa Barbara residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.
How should I read Santa Barbara’s 233,055 contributions?
LobbyVault counts 233,055 itemized lines for SANTA BARBARA, CA. That is a line count, not a headcount. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding donors. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $65,428,728. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 233,055 should not be quoted as a Santa Barbara population of donors.
Does Santa Barbara’s total include Santa Monica or Montecito?
No, unless the filer typed SANTA BARBARA. Santa Monica is a separate city hub. Montecito and Goleta are other city strings. $65,428,728 is the SANTA BARBARA, CA match. The 233,055 lines follow the same rule. Santa Monica is a separate city hub; county labels are not an FEC dimension here.
Where do the Santa Barbara facts come from?
Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $65,428,728 and 233,055 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 $281 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.
