Federal contributions from ZIP 94028

Mid-volume dollars at $69,476,168

$69,476,168 on 62,540 lines produces a mean of about $1,111. That figure sits between high-volume West Coast ZIPs with sub-$700 means and concentration files with five-figure means. It remains a ratio of two FEC counts. The packet publishes no median and no unique-donor figure.

Sixty-two thousand five hundred forty itemizations is enough volume that large and modest rows can hide in the same sum. This aggregate does not split them. Quote $69,476,168 with 62,540 lines, not the dollar total alone.

LobbyVault does not score 94028 as a Silicon Valley wealth index. Occupation and employer fields are other pages. This file is a ZIP roll-up.

Portola Valley’s five-digit key is 94028 on every row inside $69,476,168. Cite 62,540 contributions with that total whenever the ZIP is quoted.

Contributor ZIP, not a town census

A filer who puts 94028 on an itemized receipt adds that row to both totals. Work addresses, residential addresses, and committee mail can share the code. The accurate label is federal itemized receipts tagged 94028.

Repeat contributors add rows. Redesignations can add rows. Without a unique-donor field, 62,540 is a contribution-line total. This page does not guess how many people sit behind it.

What $69,476,168 excludes

Unitemized federal gifts are out. California state campaign reports are out. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are out. Cite $69,476,168 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 94028, from FEC.gov.

Amendments still move Peninsula ZIPs. Recheck the ZIP 94028 FEC page after a restatement. Cycle windows matter even when this packet does not print a cycle year.

94028 in the ZIP ranking

The all-ZIP directory uses the same series. Nearby 940xx codes may rank higher on dollars with fewer lines, or lower on dollars with more lines. Those gaps describe filing shape, not voter intensity. FEC.gov does not measure intensity.

Do not stack 94028 with 94022 or 94025 into a “Peninsula metro” total on this page. The file reports one key: 94028, $69,476,168, 62,540 contributions.

Portola Valley’s $1,111 mean is still just a ratio

ZIP 94028 totals $69,476,168 across 62,540 itemized FEC contributions. Portola Valley’s foothill mail is orientation, not a Silicon Valley wealth finding. The mean of about $1,111 sits between west-side volume ZIPs and true concentration files. That placement is filing shape. It is not a typical household gift and not a median. The packet has no unique-donor count.

Sixty-two thousand five hundred forty lines is enough volume that large and modest rows can hide in the same sum. LobbyVault does not split them here. Repeat itemizations add to 62,540. Memo entries add to 62,540. California state filings never enter $69,476,168. Unitemized federal gifts never enter it. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP never enter it. Recheck the ZIP 94028 FEC page after a restatement.

Do not stack 94028 with 94022 or 94025 into a Peninsula metro total on this page. The all-ZIP directory is the right place to compare five-digit keys. Dollar rank and line-count rank can diverge; 62,540 receipts against $69,476,168 is the pairing that describes this code. FEC.gov does not score towns. Named receipts on the ZIP hub and the donor directory answer identity questions. Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Portola Valley’s $69,476,168 total is incomplete without 62,540 lines. The mean of about $1,111 is a mid-band ratio, not a typical foothill household gift. The packet has no unique-donor count. California state filings stay outside $69,476,168. Unitemized federal gifts stay outside it. Open the ZIP 94028 FEC page for the live aggregate. Open the all-ZIP directory before stacking 94022 or 94025. Open the donor directory for names on itemized rows. Recheck after a restatement. When the live hub disagrees, FEC.gov controls. Do not invent a party split. Do not invent a median. Geography beyond the five-digit string is orientation. Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 94028?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 94028 total $69,476,168 across 62,540 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Portola Valley residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $1,111 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 94028?

LobbyVault counts 62,540 itemized contributions for ZIP 94028. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $69,476,168.

Does ZIP 94028 include only Portola Valley residents?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office and committee addresses in the 94028 grid can be part of $69,476,168 when that is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 62,540-line count follows the same rule.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 94028 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $69,476,168 and 62,540 lines for ZIP 94028. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. California state filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls.
