SANTA ROSA, CA: $26.2M on 147,910 FEC receipts

147,910 lines behind $26,200,333

Santa Rosa shows 147,910 itemizations behind $26,200,333. That mix is a high-volume, smaller-average file. Many of the lines will be modest individual receipts that happen to share the Santa Rosa city field. Committee receipts that list a Santa Rosa address still sit in the same column. LobbyVault does not strip one type before adding the dollars.

Petaluma, Rohnert Park, and Sebastopol are stored as their own city strings. They are not folded into this total. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents. Read $26,200,333 as tagged federal receipts, not as what Santa Rosa residents gave. The 147,910 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

Nothing on this page estimates how Santa Rosa 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 Santa Rosa city table, then ZIP pages, then the cities index.

How FEC city and state keep Santa Rosa, CA distinct

Committees type the city as it appears on the contributor record and the state as CA. A workplace in Santa Rosa and a home in Petaluma can produce different city strings on different receipts. This hub holds only the 147,910 lines labeled SANTA ROSA with state CA. That split is disclosure mechanics, not a statement about Sonoma County’s civic identity.

This packet is Santa Rosa, California, not Santa Rosa, New Mexico. State CA stays on the citation. Keeping both facts in view—$26,200,333 and 147,910 contributions—shows a thick file. A combined Sonoma County picture requires adding other hubs by design.

ZIP codes inside the Santa Rosa string

147,910 city-field lines can spread across many ZIPs or cluster in a few. This packet does not list those ZIPs. Open the ZIP directory and the live Santa Rosa hub rather than guessing the split.

After an amendment wave, recheck both the city hub and any ZIP you compared. Snapshots drift independently.

California state campaign accounts are not inside $26,200,333. This hub is federal itemizations labeled SANTA ROSA, CA: 147,910 records. A metro briefing that blends Petaluma or Rohnert Park is a different object unless those labels are added on purpose.

Santa Rosa’s volume shape

A mean near $177 on 147,910 rows is a volume shape: many itemized lines, smaller average receipt. Volume is not turnout and is not a unique-donor count.

High-dollar cities on this series can post similar dollar totals on far fewer rows. Santa Rosa’s $26,200,333 is not interchangeable with those books because the 147,910-line count is part of the claim.

Wine-country geography orients readers to Sonoma County; this packet has no industry or employer split. Cite the city string, not the regional brand.

What this packet does not say about Santa Rosa

Party split, unique donors, and top committees are absent. If a briefing invents those figures for Santa Rosa, they did not come from this extract.

Independent expenditures that mention a Santa Rosa-area race can be paid by a committee with a different city on its own reports. Those disbursements do not move $26,200,333.

Citing SANTA ROSA, CA from FEC.gov

A mean of about $177 is division of $26,200,333 by 147,910. It is fair to report as arithmetic. It is not fair to report as a typical resident of Santa Rosa.

Internal links on this page go only to the Santa Rosa city hub, the all-cities directory, and the ZIP directory. Those are the three paths that match this packet.

Santa Rosa’s $26,200,333 across 147,910 contributions is a high-volume Sonoma County city field, mean near $177. Petaluma and Rohnert Park are neighboring strings, not subsets. Sonoma County is not summed here. Repeat gifts add rows. State-office receipts are omitted. Cite $26,200,333 with 147,910 from FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Researchers citing Santa Rosa should keep Sonoma County off the sentence unless they add Petaluma and Rohnert Park on purpose. The live Santa Rosa table can show named committees that this snapshot does not list. A later FEC extract can move $26,200,333 or 147,910 without this guide rewriting itself. Treat the mean near $177 as division only. California state-office receipts sit outside both packet facts. If a ZIP page for a Santa Rosa code disagrees with the city hub, quote both keys rather than forcing a match. Santa Rosa, New Mexico, is a different state field. The 147,910-line count still is not a headcount of Santa Rosa people.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to Santa Rosa, CA?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city SANTA ROSA, CA total $26,200,333 across 147,910 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 Santa Rosa. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

Why is Santa Rosa’s contribution count high relative to the dollars?

LobbyVault counts 147,910 itemized contributions for SANTA ROSA, CA against $26,200,333, a mean near $177. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. A high line count with a modest mean is a volume book, not a turnout score.

Does the Santa Rosa total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed SANTA ROSA with state CA. Office addresses and mail that list Santa Rosa can be part of $26,200,333 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 147,910-line count follows the same rule.

Is this Santa Rosa, California or another Santa Rosa?

This extract is SANTA ROSA with state CA: $26,200,333 and 147,910 lines. It is not Santa Rosa, New Mexico. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal California filings sit outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
