SAN MARINO, CA: $28.5M on 62,207 FEC receipts

San Marino’s dollars versus line count

Sixty-two thousand two hundred seven lines produce $28,503,529. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $458. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. FEC.gov does not publish a median on this city aggregate.

Pasadena, San Gabriel, and Arcadia keep separate California hubs. They are not inside $28,503,529 unless the filer typed SAN MARINO. Los Angeles County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up.

One Valley city, not the Valley

San Gabriel Valley is a regional label. FEC.gov stores a city field. This packet publishes SAN MARINO, CA only: $28,503,529 and 62,207 lines. Adding Pasadena would be a recode.

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 postal map

FEC.gov stores whatever city appeared on the itemized receipt. SAN MARINO plus CA is the match. Recoding into a Census place or a Los Angeles metro label is a different dataset.

ZIP pages cut the same federal series by postal code. Summing Valley ZIPs can diverge from $28,503,529 when some receipts used Pasadena or South Pasadena as the city. The 62,207-line count follows the city field.

Limits of the San Marino aggregate

California state campaigns file under state law. Those receipts are outside $28,503,529 and outside 62,207. Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures that never appear as contribution itemizations are outside both facts.

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

Citing SAN MARINO, CA

Name FEC.gov, name contributor city, and print $28,503,529 with 62,207 together. Dropping the line count hides how the $458 mean is produced.

Office addresses can share the San Marino city field with household streets. Totals can include a PAC or joint-fundraising address when that is what filers typed. The 62,207 lines are receipts, not unique persons. If the live hub disagrees with this snapshot, trust the hub. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named San Marino receipt matters.

How researchers should use the San Marino hub

Start on the live San Marino city page, then open ZIP pages if a postal cut is the real question. $28,503,529 is the city-string dollar total in this snapshot. 62,207 is the matching line count. Those two numbers move together when FEC.gov amends a receipt. They do not move because a researcher prefers Pasadena as the “real” neighbor. Filers typed SAN MARINO. LobbyVault indexed SAN MARINO.

A mean near $458 is only $28,503,529 divided by 62,207. Occupation, recipient, and party are different FEC fields. None of those fields are in this packet. Cite the pair: contributor city SAN MARINO, CA, $28,503,529, 62,207 itemized federal contributions, source FEC.gov via LobbyVault. California non-federal filings never enter either fact.

South Pasadena, San Gabriel, and Alhambra are neighboring strings. $28,503,529 does not include them unless the filer typed SAN MARINO. The 62,207 lines follow that name. San Gabriel Valley is not an FEC field. The mean near $458 is arithmetic.

Pasadena keeps a separate hub. California non-federal filings stay outside. Cite SAN MARINO, CA with both facts. If the live pair changes, discard this snapshot. Unitemized gifts stay outside. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

San Marino is not Pasadena. $28,503,529 and 62,207 belong to SAN MARINO as typed. San Gabriel Valley is a regional label. The mean near $458 is division. California state filings stay outside. Cite both packet facts. Recheck the live hub. ZIP pages that mix Valley place names will diverge from this pair. Unitemized federal gifts never enter either number. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Keep SAN MARINO, CA, $28,503,529, and 62,207 in one citation. The mean near $458 is those two numbers divided. Pasadena remains a separate string. San Gabriel remains a separate string. San Gabriel Valley remains a regional label. California non-federal filings remain outside. Unitemized federal gifts remain outside. Independent expenditures that are not contribution itemizations remain outside. Start on the live city page. Open ZIP pages for a postal cut. Open FEC.gov for a named San Marino receipt that needs the original report.

Questions

What is San Marino’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?

Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city SAN MARINO, CA total $28,503,529 across 62,207 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of San Marino residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.

How should I read San Marino’s 62,207 contributions?

LobbyVault counts 62,207 itemized lines for SAN MARINO, CA. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding donors. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $28,503,529. The mean near $458 follows from division.

Does San Marino’s total include Pasadena?

Only if the filer typed SAN MARINO. Pasadena, San Gabriel, and Arcadia are separate city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $28,503,529 is the SAN MARINO, CA match. The 62,207 lines follow the same rule. San Gabriel Valley is not an FEC dimension on this hub.

Where do the San Marino facts come from?

Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $28,503,529 and 62,207 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 $458 is arithmetic from those two packet numbers.
