PACIFIC PALISADES, CA: $65.4M on 120,611 FEC receipts

A typed Westside string, not an L.A. subtotal

Divide $65,378,619 by 120,611 and the average itemized line is about $542. Santa Barbara, on a nearby dollar total, carries 233,055 lines and a lower mean. Pacific Palisades is the thinner of those two California books.

Los Angeles, Santa Monica, and Malibu are other city strings. They are not inside $65,378,619 unless the filer typed PACIFIC PALISADES. Adding this hub to Los Angeles would mix labels filers kept separate.

A PAC or joint-fundraising committee that listed Pacific Palisades can share the city field with household streets. LobbyVault does not recode those rows into Los Angeles. The 120,611 lines are receipts, not unique persons.

Postal city versus municipal map

Postal convention lets Pacific Palisades appear as a city even where municipal maps treat it as part of Los Angeles. FEC.gov stored what was typed. This page reports that string: $65,378,619 and 120,611 lines.

Keep PACIFIC PALISADES, CA as the citation. Recheck both facts on the live hub after a later extract.

ZIP pages versus the Palisades label

ZIP pages cut the same federal series by postal code. A Palisades ZIP can contain receipts that used LOS ANGELES as the city, and an L.A. ZIP can contain receipts that used PACIFIC PALISADES. Do not expect ZIP sums to equal $65,378,619.

The 120,611-line count follows the city field. Recoding free-text cities into Census places would be a different product.

What this table omits

California state campaigns file under state law. Those receipts are outside $65,378,619 and outside 120,611. Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures that never appear as contribution itemizations are outside both facts.

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

A Pacific Palisades citation that names FEC.gov and prints $65,378,619 without 120,611 hides a postal-city book, mean near $542, not a Los Angeles subtotal. Municipal maps do not replace the typed city field. Santa Monica and Malibu remain other strings.

If a later extract moves the Palisades pair, the live hub is the authority. This guide is a snapshot. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Palisades receipt is the story. Unitemized gifts and California state filings remain outside $65,378,619 and 120,611.

Citing PACIFIC PALISADES, CA

Name FEC.gov, name contributor city, and print $65,378,619 with 120,611 together. Do not describe the pair as “Los Angeles’s Palisades subtotal.” The Commission stored a city string.

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

Pacific Palisades’s $65,378,619 on 120,611 lines, mean near $542, is a postal-city book, not a Los Angeles subtotal. Keep that distinction in every citation.

Santa Monica and Malibu remain neighboring Westside strings. They are not inside $65,378,619. The 120,611 lines follow the PACIFIC PALISADES label only.

What a Pacific Palisades reader should carry

Carry FEC.gov, contributor city PACIFIC PALISADES, CA, $65,378,619, and 120,611 lines. The mean near $542 is optional arithmetic. It is not a typical household gift and not a unique-donor average.

Los Angeles, Santa Monica, and Malibu stay off this page unless the filer typed PACIFIC PALISADES. California state-office receipts stay off this page. Unitemized federal gifts stay off this page.

Postal convention lets Pacific Palisades appear as a city even where municipal maps treat it as part of Los Angeles. FEC.gov stored what was typed. This page reports that string, not a neighborhood recode.

The live Pacific Palisades hub is the table. This guide is the footnote. If they disagree, trust the hub. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Palisades receipt matters. ZIP pages split a different field and will not automatically reproduce $65,378,619.

Pacific Palisades’s 120,611 lines behind $65,378,619, mean near $542, describe a postal city string. Los Angeles remains a separate hub. Adding the two mixes labels filers kept separate.

Santa Monica and Malibu are other Westside strings. Municipal maps that treat the Palisades as part of Los Angeles are not the FEC city field. This page follows what was typed.

California state campaigns and unitemized federal gifts sit outside both facts. A Palisades ZIP can contain receipts that used LOS ANGELES as the city. ZIP sums will not automatically equal $65,378,619. The Palisades hub holds the live table. Open FEC.gov. Quote $65,378,619 with 120,611.

Questions

What does LobbyVault show for Pacific Palisades federal contributions?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city PACIFIC PALISADES, CA total $65,378,619 across 120,611 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Palisades residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

Is Pacific Palisades part of the Los Angeles city total?

Not on this hub. Los Angeles is a separate city string. $65,378,619 counts rows that stored PACIFIC PALISADES, CA. Receipts that stored LOS ANGELES sit on the Los Angeles hub. Adding the two is a recode this packet does not publish. The 120,611 lines follow the Palisades label only.

How should I read the 120,611 figure?

LobbyVault counts 120,611 itemized contribution lines for PACIFIC PALISADES, CA. That is a line count, not a headcount. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding people. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $65,378,619. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 120,611 should not be quoted as a Palisades population of donors.

How current is the $65,378,619 Pacific Palisades total?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $65,378,619 and 120,611 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 $542 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
