NEWPORT BEACH, CA: $91.1M on 169,406 FEC receipts

$91,059,268 is a Schedule A city total

FEC.gov indexed 169,406 itemized rows to contributor city NEWPORT BEACH, CA. Their sum is $91,059,268. The mean near $538 describes the average row, not a household and not a census tract.

Orange County’s Newport Beach string is not Irvine or Laguna Beach. Each city field is its own key. The 169,406-line count is a contribution-line total. It is not a headcount of Newport Beach residents. 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.

Newport Beach versus Irvine is a different-key problem, not a suburb ranking. Laguna Beach and Costa Mesa follow the same rule. Quote $91,059,268 and 169,406 for NEWPORT BEACH, CA only. The mean near $538 does not travel with a neighbor’s name.

How to read the CA city key for Newport Beach

City-name spelling is part of the key. NEWPORT BEACH with state CA is the unit. A close spelling, a neighborhood abbreviation, or a merged metro label is a different aggregate if FEC stored it differently.

Independent expenditures that mention a Newport Beach race can be paid by a committee with a different city on its own reports. Those disbursements do not move $91,059,268. Keep independent-expenditure tables separate from this city total.

Using ZIP pages without breaking $91,059,268

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to Newport Beach, CA?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city NEWPORT BEACH, CA total $91,059,268 across 169,406 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 Newport Beach. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to Newport Beach?

LobbyVault counts 169,406 itemized contributions for NEWPORT BEACH, CA. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 169,406 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $91,059,268.

Does the Newport Beach total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed NEWPORT BEACH with state CA. Office addresses and mail that list Newport Beach can be part of $91,059,268 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 169,406-line count follows the same rule.

Where does LobbyVault get Newport Beach totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $91,059,268 and 169,406 lines for NEWPORT BEACH, 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. The mean of about $538 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
