Federal contributions itemized with ZIP 94025

Peninsula volume on a $660 mean

$97,817,829 divided by 148,140 is about $660 per itemized line. Stanford-adjacent streets explain the search. FEC lines do not carry a campus checkbox. Employer strings on venture and university receipts live on rows, not in this packet. Large PAC or joint-fundraising itemizations can still sit inside $97,817,829. They show up when you sort the ZIP 94025 FEC page by amount.

148,140 contributions is an itemization count, not a unique-person count. Repeat givers, online itemized gifts, and memo entries can lengthen the list. This packet has no donor headcount. Cite 148,140 as a contribution-line total.

No party split is attached to $97,817,829. Local reputation is not an FEC field. The Commission stores a ZIP string. LobbyVault reports the roll-up of FEC.gov itemizations labeled 94025.

94025 as a contributor ZIP, not a campus map

A PAC or joint fundraising committee that lists an address in Menlo Park, California still posts 94025 when that is the ZIP on Schedule A. Individuals who list the ZIP add the same way. $97,817,829 is therefore not automatically what residents of Menlo Park, California gave. It is what was itemized with that five-digit code.

The 148,140-line count is the research lead. Open named receipts on the ZIP 94025 FEC page if you need committees. This guide will not infer a grassroots story or a bundler story from a $660 mean. Menlo Park, California geography explains the search query; the table decides the mix of payers.

What $97,817,829 omits

Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. California state office campaigns are omitted. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are omitted. Cite $97,817,829 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 94025, from FEC.gov.

A restated joint-fundraising block can still move the headline. Recheck the live ZIP 94025 FEC page after large filings. This prose is a snapshot of FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Committee mail in Peninsula is why a purely residential reading of $97,817,829 fails. A PAC, a joint fundraising committee, or a work address that lists 94025 is counted. FEC.gov stored the ZIP that was filed. LobbyVault summed it. Recoding those rows out of $97,817,829 would be a new dataset.

94025 beside other Peninsula codes

The all-ZIP directory ranks the same series. Other peninsula codes have their own dollar totals and line counts. Adding 94025 to those codes is a recode you must document; it is not this $97,817,829 figure. Compare 148,140 lines against neighboring codes as filing shape. FEC.gov does not rank which part of Peninsula is more engaged.

Independent expenditures mentioning a race near Menlo Park, California can be paid by a committee with a different ZIP. Those disbursements do not move $97,817,829. Mixing independent-expenditure tables with this ZIP total double-counts some activity and misses other activity. Keep the series separate.

Source and next clicks

The ZIP 94025 FEC page holds $97,817,829 and 148,140 as currently indexed. The all-ZIP directory ranks other codes. The donor directory lists names on itemized rows. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov controls. No postcard narrative is attached to the ZIP field.

Title, H1, and table on the live hub should show the same $97,817,829 and 148,140 this guide cites. If they do not, the hub was rebuilt from a newer extract. Trust the hub over this paragraph. Guides are snapshots of FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

How to cite ZIP 94025 without inflating Menlo Park, California

The accurate citation is: itemized federal receipts with contributor ZIP 94025 total $97,817,829 across 148,140 contributions, according to FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. Shorthand such as “Menlo Park donated $97,817,829” drops the itemized-only limit and the PAC-address caveat. Keep both limits in the sentence at least once.

A mean of about $660 describes this ZIP’s filing shape. It does not describe a median resident. Because this packet has no unique-donor count, 148,140 stays a line count. Researchers who need persons must match names on the ZIP 94025 FEC page rather than dividing $97,817,829 by a guessed household count.

ZIP 94025 will keep attracting neighborhood-giving queries because searchers use ZIP as a proxy for Menlo Park, California. FEC.gov does not use ZIP that way. It stores a five-digit contributor field. $97,817,829 across 148,140 lines is what that field sums to in this aggregate. Unique donors are not in the packet. Party is not in the packet. The PAC and joint-fundraising caveat is in the source note and belongs in any careful citation. Use the all-ZIP directory only to compare other codes on the same series. Use the donor directory for names. If the live hub reprints a different $97,817,829 or 148,140, the newer FEC extract wins and this snapshot is stale.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 94025?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 94025 total $97,817,829 across 148,140 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That figure is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of people who live in Menlo Park, California. Joint fundraising committees and PAC addresses can appear in $97,817,829 when that five-digit code was filed. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 94025?

LobbyVault counts 148,140 itemized contributions for ZIP 94025. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 148,140 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $97,817,829, a mean near $660.

Does ZIP 94025 include only residents of Menlo Park, California?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. PAC mail drops, joint fundraising committees, and office addresses in Menlo Park, California can be part of $97,817,829 when 94025 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 148,140-line count follows the same rule. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 94025 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $97,817,829 and 148,140 lines for ZIP 94025. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and California state office campaigns are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $660 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
