Federal contributions from ZIP 90403

What $16,955,007 on 90403 represents

The dollar total is the sum of disclosed federal contribution lines that carried 90403. Federal candidates and PACs in any state can receive that money. California state and Santa Monica municipal races generally sit outside this extract. Unitemized gifts never enter the $16,955,007 figure.

Sixty-four thousand rows under that total is a long receipt file. Long files usually mix modest itemized gifts, repeat names, and some larger lines. This page will not publish an average or a party split, because those cuts are not in the packet. The 90403 hub is the place to see mix.

Santa Monica 90403 produced $16,955,007 across 64,882 contributions. Tourism and residential addresses share the code. A hotel-adjacent office can itemize 90403 as easily as a condo. The FEC ZIP field records the digits, not the occupancy type. The hub’s name and committee columns are the only fix.

64,882 itemizations without a headcount

The extract lists 64,882 contributions for 90403. That count is how many disclosed rows share the ZIP. It is not how many unique donors live near Wilshire and Montana, and this packet does not include a distinct-person total. Monthly gifts and earmarks each add a row.

Treat 64,882 as an inventory size. A searcher who needs a person should filter the ZIP table or use the donor directory. Dividing $16,955,007 by the row count is not an FEC-published typical gift, and this guide will not present it as one.

City of Santa Monica public-financing rules do not rewrite FEC itemization. Keep $16,955,007 in the federal column of any story. Mixing local matching funds with this total would be an invented sum. This packet has one dollar figure and one row count. Use those.

Beach-city ZIP on an FEC receipt

Committees report a five-digit contributor ZIP. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents. A talent office, a law firm, or a committee mailbox in 90403 can share the code with condominiums and houses.

Keep the $16,955,007 figure labeled as ZIP-tagged disclosure. The neighborhood story a reader wants is only as accurate as the committee and name columns on each line. Those columns live on the hub, not in this caption.

Sixty-four thousand rows will contain earmarks that pass through intermediaries. Those rows still list 90403 if that is what the committee filed. They still count in 64,882. They still are not unique people. Open the ZIP 90403 FEC page when the next question is who the intermediary was.

Using the 90403 pages on LobbyVault

The ZIP 90403 FEC page holds the itemizations behind $16,955,007 and 64,882 contributions. The all-ZIP index is the catalog of other codes. The donor directory is the name search across the FEC file.

FEC.gov remains the source. LobbyVault groups the ZIP field so the packet facts can be quoted without a manual merge of committee reports.

What this 90403 guide leaves out

No unique-donor count, party share, cycle trend, or per-resident ratio is in the packet. No occupation ranking is in the packet. The supported statements are dollars, row count, FEC as source, and the five-digit ZIP definition including PAC and joint-fundraising addresses.

Santa Monica itemizations as federal, not city, records

ZIP 90403’s $16,955,007 total is FEC federal disclosure, not Santa Monica city clerk data. The 64,882 contributions funded federal committees. Unitemized gifts are absent. Talent offices, law firms, and condominiums can share the ZIP. Caption the money as ZIP-tagged receipts, then open the 90403 hub to see which rows are people and which are committees.

Sixty-four thousand rows is a long file. Sort by amount, then sample the middle. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total. Repeat monthly gifts will inflate 64,882 without inflating unique people. Employer and occupation text, if present on a receipt, is what the committee filed, not a LobbyVault ranking of the beach-city workforce.

No party split or cycle series is in the packet. Use the ZIP 90403 FEC page, the all-ZIP index, and the donor directory. Cite FEC.gov. Do not present an average of $16,955,007 divided by 64,882 as an official typical gift. The Commission did not publish that statistic in these packet facts.

Questions

What is the FEC contribution total for ZIP 90403?

Itemizations listing 90403 total $16,955,007 across 64,882 contributions. Both figures are FEC disclosure aggregates for the five-digit contributor ZIP. They are not a unique-donor census of Santa Monica and not a city local-filing total. LobbyVault indexes those FEC.gov itemizations so $16,955,007 and 64,882 contributions can be checked on the ZIP 90403 hub without assembling committee reports by hand.

Does 64,882 contributions mean 64,882 people donated?

No. The number counts itemized receipts. Repeat givers and earmarks add rows. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this page does not invent one. Names appear on the ZIP 90403 FEC page. This packet still does not include a distinct-donor total, so 64,882 remains a receipt count for ZIP 90403 even after the hub is open.

Can PAC addresses be inside the 90403 total?

Yes. FEC stores the ZIP on the contribution record. Joint-fundraising committees and PAC mail using 90403 can sit inside the $16,955,007 sum with residential gifts. Committee names on the hub identify those receipts. Read committee names on the largest ZIP 90403 lines before treating $16,955,007 as household-only money; the five-digit field does not make that distinction by itself.

Where can I read 90403 itemizations?

On the ZIP 90403 FEC page. Compare codes on the all-ZIP index and search names in the donor directory. Original filings are on FEC.gov. Those three LobbyVault paths plus FEC.gov are the full working set for verifying $16,955,007 and 64,882 contributions tagged to ZIP 90403.
