SANTA BARBARA, CA: $65.4M on 233,055 FEC receipts

Santa Barbara’s federal city pair

Two hundred thirty-three thousand fifty-five lines produce $65,428,728. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $281. That mean is arithmetic. This packet has no median.

Santa Monica, Goleta, Montecito, and Carpinteria are other California city strings. They are not inside $65,428,728 unless the filer typed SANTA BARBARA. Santa Barbara County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up.

Office addresses can share the Santa Barbara city field with household streets. Totals can include a PAC or joint-fundraising address when that is what filers typed. The 233,055 lines are receipts, not unique persons.

City, not county, not Santa Monica

Santa Monica is a separate Los Angeles County hub. The similar names are a citation trap. This book is SANTA BARBARA, CA: $65,428,728 and 233,055 lines.

Keep the state CA on the key. Recheck both facts on the live hub after a later extract.

City field versus ZIP pages

Filers type a city. The Commission stores that string. Recoding Santa Barbara into a Census place or a county map would be a different product.

ZIP pages cut the same federal series by postal code. Summing coastal ZIPs will not reproduce $65,428,728 when some receipts used Montecito or Goleta. The 233,055-line count follows the city field.

What this table omits

California state campaigns file under state law. Those receipts are outside $65,428,728 and outside 233,055. Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures that never appear as contribution itemizations are outside both facts.

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

A Santa Barbara citation that names FEC.gov and prints $65,428,728 without 233,055 hides a volume coastal book, mean near $281. Santa Monica remains a different hub. Santa Barbara County maps do not replace the city field.

If a later extract moves Santa Barbara’s pair, the live hub is the authority. This guide is a snapshot. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Santa Barbara receipt is the story. Unitemized gifts and California state filings remain outside $65,428,728 and 233,055.

Santa Barbara’s $65,428,728 on 233,055 lines, mean near $281, is a volume coastal book. Santa Monica remains a separate Los Angeles County hub whose similar name is the citation trap.

What a Santa Barbara reader should carry

Carry FEC.gov, contributor city SANTA BARBARA, CA, $65,428,728, and 233,055 lines. The mean near $281 is optional arithmetic. It is not a typical household gift and not a unique-donor average.

Santa Monica, Goleta, Montecito, and Carpinteria stay off this page unless the filer typed SANTA BARBARA. California state-office receipts stay off this page. Unitemized federal gifts stay off this page.

Santa Barbara County is orientation, not a roll-up. A high line count can include repeat givers. 233,055 is not a unique-donor census. $65,428,728 is still the dollar sum of those lines.

The live Santa Barbara hub is the table. This guide is the footnote. If they disagree, trust the hub. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Santa Barbara receipt matters. ZIP pages split a different field.

Santa Barbara’s 233,055 lines behind $65,428,728, mean near $281, are a volume coastal book. Santa Monica is a different county and a different hub. The similar names are a citation trap.

Montecito, Goleta, and Carpinteria are neighboring strings. Santa Barbara County is orientation, not a roll-up. $65,428,728 is SANTA BARBARA only.

California state campaigns and unitemized federal gifts sit outside both facts. A high line count can include repeat givers. 233,055 is not a unique-donor census. The Santa Barbara hub holds the live table. ZIP pages split a different field. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Quote $65,428,728 with 233,055.

Santa Barbara’s pair is $65,428,728 and 233,055 lines. Print both. Santa Monica stays on its own hub. Santa Barbara County is orientation only. The live table on the Santa Barbara FEC page is the authority if this snapshot and the hub diverge.

Questions

What is Santa Barbara’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?

Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city SANTA BARBARA, CA total $65,428,728 across 233,055 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Santa Barbara residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.

How should I read Santa Barbara’s 233,055 contributions?

LobbyVault counts 233,055 itemized lines for SANTA BARBARA, CA. That is a line count, not a headcount. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding donors. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $65,428,728. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 233,055 should not be quoted as a Santa Barbara population of donors.

Does Santa Barbara’s total include Santa Monica or Montecito?

No, unless the filer typed SANTA BARBARA. Santa Monica is a separate city hub. Montecito and Goleta are other city strings. $65,428,728 is the SANTA BARBARA, CA match. The 233,055 lines follow the same rule. Santa Monica is a separate city hub; county labels are not an FEC dimension here.

Where do the Santa Barbara facts come from?

Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $65,428,728 and 233,055 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 $281 is arithmetic from those two packet numbers.
