MILL VALLEY, CA: $41.0M on 140,875 FEC receipts

A high-volume Marin city string

One hundred forty thousand eight hundred seventy-five lines produce $41,000,226. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $291. Mill Valley’s shape on this extract is volume first: many receipts, a mean that sits in the high two-hundreds, not a thin file of oversized rows.

Sausalito, Tiburon, and San Rafael are other Marin city strings. They are not inside $41,000,226 unless the filer typed MILL VALLEY. Marin County is orientation, not an FEC dimension.

Household streets and office addresses can share the same city field. A PAC or joint-fundraising address counts when that is what the filer typed. The 140,875 lines are receipts, not unique persons.

Not San Francisco and not a county sum

San Francisco keeps its own California hub. Recoding Mill Valley into a Bay Area metro total would be a different product. This packet publishes MILL VALLEY, CA only: $41,000,226 and 140,875 lines.

State CA on the key is required in the citation. Recheck both facts on the live hub if a later extract lands.

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 Marin ZIPs will not reproduce $41,000,226 when some receipts used Sausalito, Corte Madera, or another label.

The 140,875-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 $41,000,226 and outside 140,875. Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures that never appear as contribution itemizations are outside both facts.

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

Citing MILL VALLEY, CA

Name FEC.gov, name contributor city, and print $41,000,226 with 140,875 together. Dropping the line count hides a mean near $291 and a volume Marin book.

If the live hub disagrees with this snapshot, trust the hub. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Mill Valley receipt matters.

How to use the Mill Valley hub

Start on the live Mill Valley city page, then open ZIP pages if a postal cut is the real question. $41,000,226 is the city-string dollar total in this snapshot. 140,875 is the matching line count. Those two numbers move together when FEC.gov amends a receipt. They do not move because a researcher prefers Sausalito, Tiburon, or San Rafael as the “real” Marin address. Filers typed MILL VALLEY. LobbyVault indexed MILL VALLEY. Marin County, the ferry, and “the North Bay” are useful for maps and news copy. They are not FEC dimensions on this hub. A mean near $291 is only $41,000,226 divided by 140,875. It is not a typical Mill Valley household gift and not a typical downtown-plaza gift. Occupation is a different FEC field. Recipient is a different FEC field. Party is a different FEC field. None of those fields are in this packet. Do not infer them from the mean. Do not infer turnout. Do not infer that Mill Valley is more “politically active” than San Francisco because the line counts differ. San Francisco is a different city string with its own hub.

Cite the pair in one sentence: contributor city MILL VALLEY, CA, $41,000,226, 140,875 itemized federal contributions, source FEC.gov via LobbyVault. If a later extract on the live hub prints a different pair, discard this snapshot. Original PDFs and electronic filings remain on FEC.gov for any named Mill Valley 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. A high line count can include repeat givers. 140,875 is not a unique-donor census. $41,000,226 is still the dollar sum of those lines. Quote both. The live Mill Valley hub is the table. This guide is the footnote. If they disagree, trust the hub. ZIP pages split a different field. Occupation lives on other FEC fields. Open FEC.gov. Keep MILL VALLEY plus CA as the citation so the row does not collapse into a Marin County slogan.

Questions

What does LobbyVault show for Mill Valley federal contributions?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city MILL VALLEY, CA total $41,000,226 across 140,875 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Marin residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

Is 140,875 the number of Mill Valley donors?

No. LobbyVault counts 140,875 itemized contribution lines for MILL VALLEY, CA. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding people. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $41,000,226.

Does Mill Valley’s total include Sausalito or San Francisco?

No, unless the filer typed MILL VALLEY. Sausalito, Tiburon, and San Francisco are separate city hubs. $41,000,226 is the MILL VALLEY, CA match. The 140,875 lines follow the same rule. County labels are not an FEC dimension on this hub.

How current is Mill Valley’s $41,000,226 figure?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $41,000,226 and 140,875 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.
