FREMONT, CA: $16.8M on 77,986 FEC receipts

77,986 lines behind FREMONT's $16.8M

FREMONT shows 77,986 itemizations behind $16,839,132. That is a receipt count, not a unique-person census. A file this long at $16.8M is a high-volume city field: many itemized rows, not a handful of oversized transfers. The implied mean is about $216.

Fremont is a southern Alameda volume book: 77,986 lines against $16.8 million, a mean near $216. Fremont, Nebraska is a different city-and-state key. Newark, California is a neighboring string, not this hub. 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 $16,839,132 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of Fremont gave. The 77,986 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints Fremont together with Newark, Union City, and San Jose, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $16,839,132 on 77,986 FREMONT, CA rows, mean near $216. Keep the stored spelling FREMONT in the citation.

Why FREMONT on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Fremont give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city FREMONT, CA total $16,839,132 across 77,986 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. This extract is FREMONT with state CA. Fremont, NE is a different FEC city-and-state key. Newark, CA is a neighboring string.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $16,839,132. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $216 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Outside the FREMONT itemized book

$16,839,132 is not spending by Fremont candidates. A candidate who lives in Fremont can raise money from other cities. A donor row tagged FREMONT, CA can go to a committee anywhere. Unitemized federal gifts sit outside both packet facts.

Postal confusion with Newark, Union City, and San Jose is why the city field is a poor residency proxy. $16,839,132 counts rows that stored FREMONT, CA. 77,986 lines. About $216 each. Neighbor names need their own hubs. CA state-office receipts are omitted.

FREMONT versus San Jose on the FEC tape

FREMONT is a high-volume East Bay book in southern Alameda County in the East Bay. 77,986 lines produce $16,839,132, a mean near $216. That line count is not a unique-donor count. Comparing this mean to San Jose is only valid on the same series: contributor city, itemized federal receipts.

A Fremont total of $16,839,132 does not absorb Newark, Union City, and San Jose. Those names are other city strings when filers typed them. State CA stays on the citation so FREMONT, CA is not merged with a same-named place elsewhere. Mixing in CA state-campaign data breaks the comparison.

City total versus postal codes in CA

77,986 city-field lines can spread across many ZIPs or cluster in a few. This packet does not list those ZIPs. Open the ZIP directory and the live Fremont hub rather than guessing the split. After an amendment wave, recheck both the city hub and any ZIP you compared. Snapshots drift independently.

Because this packet carries only city, state, dollar total, and contribution count, every other story about Fremont politics sits outside the extract. That includes candidate quality, issue fights, and local election results. This guide stays on the two numbers FEC.gov supplied for the city field: $16,839,132 and 77,986.

Source tables for $16,839,132

A mean of about $216 is division of $16,839,132 by 77,986. It is fair to report as arithmetic. It is not fair to report as a typical resident of Fremont. Means move with a few large lines. Internal links on this page go only to the Fremont city hub, the all-cities directory, and the ZIP directory.

Fremont’s $16,839,132 across 77,986 contributions is a Alameda County city field, mean near $216. Newark is a neighboring string, not a subset. Alameda County is not summed here. Repeat gifts add rows. Cite $16,839,132 with 77,986 from FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. If the live hub disagrees with this snapshot, the newer FEC extract controls.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city FREMONT, CA?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city FREMONT, CA total $16,839,132 across 77,986 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 Fremont. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $216 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Is this Fremont, Nebraska?

No. This extract is FREMONT with state CA. Fremont, NE is a different FEC city-and-state key. Newark, CA is a neighboring string. LobbyVault counts 77,986 itemized contributions for FREMONT, CA against $16,839,132. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 77,986 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the Fremont total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed FREMONT with state CA. Office addresses and mail that list Fremont can be part of $16,839,132 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 77,986-line count follows the same rule.

Are Fremont numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $16,839,132 and 77,986 lines for FREMONT, 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.
