MALIBU, CA: $32.9M on 77,095 FEC receipts

Malibu’s 77,095-line book

Seventy-seven thousand ninety-five lines produce $32,934,834. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $427. Pacific Palisades, Santa Monica, and Calabasas are other nearby city strings. They are not inside $32,934,834 unless the filer typed MALIBU.

Los Angeles County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up. $32,934,834 is the MALIBU match only. The 77,095 lines are receipts, not unique persons.

Not Los Angeles and not a coastline recode

Los Angeles and Santa Monica keep separate California hubs. Recoding Malibu into a Westside or coastline total would mix keys. This packet publishes MALIBU, CA only: $32,934,834 and 77,095 lines.

Household streets and office addresses can share the city field. Totals can include a PAC or joint-fundraising address when that is what filers typed. Recheck both facts on the live hub after a later extract.

City field versus ZIP pages

Filers type a city. The Commission stores that string. ZIP pages cut the same federal series by postal code. Summing 90265-area ZIPs can diverge from $32,934,834 when some receipts used Pacific Palisades or another label.

The 77,095-line count follows the city field, not the postal map and not an employer field.

What this table omits

California state campaigns file under state law. Those receipts sit outside $32,934,834 and outside 77,095. Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures that never appear as contribution itemizations are outside both facts.

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

Citing MALIBU, CA

Name FEC.gov, name contributor city, and print $32,934,834 with 77,095 together. Dropping the line count hides a mean near $427.

If the live hub disagrees with this snapshot, trust the hub. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Malibu receipt matters. Santa Monica remains a different hub.

How to use the Malibu hub

Start on the live Malibu city page. $32,934,834 is the city-string dollar total in this snapshot. 77,095 is the matching line count. Those two numbers move together when FEC.gov amends a receipt. They do not move because a researcher prefers Pacific Palisades, Santa Monica, Calabasas, or Los Angeles as the “real” coast address. Filers typed MALIBU. LobbyVault indexed MALIBU. Los Angeles County is useful for maps. It is not an FEC dimension on this hub. A mean near $427 is only $32,934,834 divided by 77,095. It is not a typical Malibu household gift. Occupation, recipient, and party live on other FEC fields. None of those fields are in this packet. Do not infer turnout. Santa Monica and Los Angeles remain other California hubs with their own pairs. Do not add those pairs to $32,934,834.

Cite the pair in one sentence: contributor city MALIBU, CA, $32,934,834, 77,095 itemized federal contributions, source FEC.gov via LobbyVault. If a later extract on the live hub prints a different pair, discard this snapshot. Original filings remain on FEC.gov for any named Malibu receipt that needs a line-by-line check. California non-federal filings never enter either fact. Unitemized federal gifts never enter either fact. Independent expenditures that are not contribution itemizations never enter either fact. 77,095 is not a unique-donor census. $32,934,834 is still the dollar sum of those lines. Quote both. The live Malibu hub is the table. This guide is the footnote. ZIP pages split a different field. Keep CA on the key. Coastline or Westside language does not replace the city field. Do not recode Malibu into a Los Angeles neighborhood overlay.

Malibu’s pair on this extract is $32,934,834 and 77,095 lines, mean near $427. Print both. Pacific Palisades, Santa Monica, and Calabasas remain other nearby strings. Los Angeles remains a separate California hub. Los Angeles County is orientation. California state campaigns and unitemized federal gifts sit outside both facts. Repeat givers can inflate 77,095 without adding unique persons. The live Malibu FEC page is the authority if this snapshot and the hub diverge. Open FEC.gov for a named receipt. Quote contributor city MALIBU, CA with both packet numbers. Do not recode Malibu into a Los Angeles neighborhood overlay. Keep CA on the key; coastline language does not replace the city field.
