Federal contributions listing Sacramento, CA

A capital city field, not a Bay Area rollup

One hundred fifty-nine million four hundred one thousand four hundred eighteen dollars is the sum of itemizations whose city text is Sacramento and whose state is CA. The matching line count is 392,963. San Francisco, Los Angeles, and other California strings are stored separately. They are not folded into this total. This page stays with the literal city field so the table can be checked against the public file.

Trade associations and committees keep Sacramento mailing addresses because they work the legislature even when donors live elsewhere in the state. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents. The $159,401,418 figure is therefore a contributor-city rollup. It is not a statement about how many people who sleep in the city wrote federal checks, and the 392,963 lines are not unique persons.

Nothing on this page estimates how Sacramento voted, which candidates the receipts supported, or whether a listed street is a home. Occupation and recipient committee live on other FEC fields. The supported path is the Sacramento city table, then ZIP pages, then the cities index. The two facts to carry are $159,401,418 and 392,963 itemizations.

What 392,963 itemizations imply

A count of 392,963 lines means the Sacramento total is built from a thick file, not a few oversized transfers. Individual receipts and committee receipts share the same city column. LobbyVault does not strip one type before adding the dollars. If the filing says Sacramento, CA, both the amount and the line stay in this bucket.

Free-text city fields also produce spelling splits. A neighboring town name would not land here. The 392,963 records on this hub are the ones stored as SACRAMENTO. That is a feature of FEC disclosure, not a LobbyVault filter. Matching another publisher’s “Capitol region” number requires seeing which labels they included.

California FPPC accounts are not inside $159,401,418. This hub is federal itemizations labeled Sacramento, CA: 392,963 records. A Capitol-region briefing that blends suburbs is a different object unless those labels are added on purpose. Keep this page’s two facts unchanged when you cite it.

ZIP drill-down for the same filings

Postal codes on the itemizations separate downtown committee traffic from neighborhood streets. The city page still shows $159,401,418 and 392,963 contributions as the combined city string. ZIP pages are the next cut. They do not add employer narratives or candidate endorsements. They regroup the same FEC.gov lines by the five-digit code on the itemization.

A ZIP that hosts several association or committee offices can look large relative to the number of people who live there. The city total does not try to correct for that. It reports the tagged sum and leaves the ZIP cut for readers who want geography inside the string.

What the table will not tell you

No occupation mix, no party split, and no state-campaign dollars appear in these two facts. California state filings are a different disclosure system. This guide is federal itemizations only. Use other LobbyVault hubs if the question is industry, occupation, or recipient committee rather than contributor city. The defining pair remains $159,401,418 and 392,963 records listing Sacramento, CA.

Sacramento’s capital function means association mail rooms appear in the same city field as household streets. The $159,401,418 total does not separate them. The 392,963 itemizations are the SACRAMENTO label only, not a Bay Area or statewide rollup. California state filings remain a different system.

Source note for Sacramento totals

FEC.gov contribution itemizations, aggregated by contributor city and state. LobbyVault did not survey residents and did not blend FPPC accounts into the city field. Defining numbers: $159,401,418 and 392,963 records listing Sacramento, CA. Those are the only quantities this guide treats as facts.

Quote dollars and lines together. Three hundred ninety-two thousand nine hundred sixty-three records behind $159,401,418 is a thick federal file. Both facts come from FEC.gov. ZIP pages split them without adding FPPC dollars.
