GLENDALE, CA: $31.5M on 89,526 FEC receipts

Glendale, California — the CA key

Eighty-nine thousand five hundred twenty-six lines produce $31,451,575. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $351. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. FEC.gov does not publish a median on this city aggregate.

Burbank, Pasadena, and Los Angeles keep separate California hubs. They are not inside $31,451,575 unless the filer typed GLENDALE. Los Angeles County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up.

Not Glendale, Arizona

Another U.S. city shares the name. FEC.gov stores city plus state. This packet publishes GLENDALE, CA only: $31,451,575 and 89,526 lines. Folding an Arizona Glendale string into this hub would be a recode.

Recheck both facts on the live hub if a later extract lands. Cite CA with the city name every time.

City string versus postal map

FEC.gov stores whatever city appeared on the itemized receipt. GLENDALE plus CA is the match. Recoding into a Census place or a San Fernando Valley label is a different dataset.

ZIP pages cut the same federal series by postal code. Summing Verdugo-foothill ZIPs can diverge from $31,451,575 when some receipts used Burbank or La Crescenta as the city. The 89,526-line count follows the city field.

Limits of the Glendale aggregate

California state campaigns file under state law. Those receipts are outside $31,451,575 and outside 89,526. Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures that never appear as contribution itemizations are outside both facts.

Nothing here estimates how Glendale voted. Occupation and recipient live on other FEC fields. Use the city table, then ZIP pages, then the cities index.

Citing GLENDALE, CA

Name FEC.gov, name contributor city with CA, and print $31,451,575 with 89,526 together. Dropping the state invites confusion with the Arizona namesake.

Office addresses can share the Glendale city field with household streets. Totals can include a PAC or joint-fundraising address when that is what filers typed. The 89,526 lines are receipts, not unique persons. If the live hub disagrees with this snapshot, trust the hub. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Glendale receipt matters.

How researchers should use the Glendale hub

Start on the live Glendale city page, then open ZIP pages if a postal cut is the real question. $31,451,575 is the city-string dollar total in this snapshot. 89,526 is the matching line count. Those two numbers move together when FEC.gov amends a receipt. They do not move because a researcher prefers Burbank as the “real” neighbor. Filers typed GLENDALE with CA. LobbyVault indexed that pair.

A mean near $351 is only $31,451,575 divided by 89,526. Occupation, recipient, and party are different FEC fields. None of those fields are in this packet. Cite the pair: contributor city GLENDALE, CA, $31,451,575, 89,526 itemized federal contributions, source FEC.gov via LobbyVault. California non-federal filings never enter either fact.

La Crescenta, Montrose, and Burbank sit on neighboring streets. They enter this hub only if the filer typed GLENDALE. $31,451,575 and 89,526 lines are the California key. Glendale, Arizona is a different state string. Always print CA with the city name.

The mean near $351 is division, not a typical Verdugo gift. San Fernando Valley is not an FEC dimension. California non-federal filings stay outside. Cite GLENDALE, CA with both facts. If a later extract lands a different pair, discard this snapshot. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Print CA in every Glendale citation. $31,451,575 and 89,526 are the California key. Arizona is a different state string. Burbank and Pasadena are different city strings. The mean near $351 is division. Los Angeles County is orientation. California state filings stay outside. Cite the pair, name FEC.gov, and recheck the live hub after amendments. Unitemized federal gifts never enter either fact.

Keep GLENDALE, CA, $31,451,575, and 89,526 in one citation. Print CA so the Arizona namesake cannot be confused with this hub. The mean near $351 is those two numbers divided. Burbank remains a separate string. Pasadena remains a separate string. California non-federal filings remain outside. Unitemized federal gifts remain outside. Independent expenditures that are not contribution itemizations remain outside. Start on the live city page. Open ZIP pages for a postal cut. Open FEC.gov for a named Glendale receipt that needs the original report.

Questions

What is Glendale, CA’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?

Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city GLENDALE, CA total $31,451,575 across 89,526 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Glendale residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.

Is this Glendale, Arizona?

No. The packet key is GLENDALE, CA. State CA is required in the citation. $31,451,575 and 89,526 lines are the California match only. An Arizona Glendale string is a different city key when filers typed it that way.

Does Glendale’s total include Burbank or Pasadena?

Only if the filer typed GLENDALE. Burbank, Pasadena, and Los Angeles are separate city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $31,451,575 is the GLENDALE, CA match. The 89,526 lines follow the same rule. Los Angeles County is not an FEC dimension here.

Where do the Glendale facts come from?

Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $31,451,575 and 89,526 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 $351 is arithmetic from those two packet numbers.
