Federal contributions itemized with ZIP 94043

Sixty thousand Mountain View lines

$21,856,934 divided by 60,268 is about $363 per itemized line. A Silicon Valley mail code often mixes campuses, offices, and residences on the same five digits. That $363 figure is arithmetic from the packet, not a median gift and not a typical employee contribution.

Sixty thousand two hundred sixty-eight itemizations is a long receipt list. Workplace itemizations, repeat gifts, and bundled events can all add rows. 60,268 is not a headcount of people who work or live in Mountain View.

No party share is attached to $21,856,934. Employer strings sit on other LobbyVault views. 94043 is a geographic key on the contributor record. Cite 60,268 contributions with that total whenever the ZIP is quoted.

A campus-and-residential ZIP on FEC forms

94043 covers parts of Mountain View and overlapping North Bayshore mail. A contributor who lists a campus address, a home, or a committee that files 94043 adds to $21,856,934 when that ZIP is on the itemization. Treating the total as household-only giving misstates the field.

The 60,268-line count includes memo entries and redesignations. This guide does not invent a person count the packet omitted. Santa Clara County geography is orientation only.

What $21,856,934 leaves out

Unitemized federal gifts are out. California Fair Political Practices Commission filings are out. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are out. Cite $21,856,934 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 94043, from FEC.gov.

A tech-corridor ZIP still moves when schedules are amended. Recheck the ZIP 94043 FEC page after a restatement. Compare extract dates before treating two published totals as a contradiction.

94043 next to other Peninsula codes

The all-ZIP directory ranks the same FEC series. Neighboring codes may show different means on different line counts. Those contrasts describe filing shape. FEC.gov does not score neighborhoods or employers.

Do not add 94043 to another Mountain View or Palo Alto code into a corridor total on this page. The file reports one key: 94043, $21,856,934, 60,268 contributions.

Live tables for 94043

Open the ZIP 94043 FEC page for $21,856,934 and 60,268 as currently indexed. Use the all-ZIP directory to compare codes and the donor directory for names. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov controls.

LobbyVault is the index, not the filing system. Named receipts answer identity questions this 60,268-line roll-up cannot. The mean of about $363 is $21,856,934 divided by 60,268. Quote the pair. The packet has no unique-donor field.

How researchers should quote 94043

Write that itemized federal receipts with contributor ZIP 94043 total $21,856,934 across 60,268 contributions, per FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. A mean of about $363 is optional arithmetic from those two facts. Do not treat 60,268 as a headcount of Mountain View employees or residents. Do not treat $21,856,934 as a campus giving census. Employer strings live on other LobbyVault views, not in this ZIP roll-up.

Silicon Valley mail codes mix campuses, offices, and homes on the same five digits. FEC.gov stored the ZIP as typed. A contributor who listed a North Bayshore campus, a Castro Street address, or a committee letterhead tagged 94043 all add to $21,856,934 when that is the filed string. LobbyVault does not recode those rows into workplace versus household books.

Do not add 94043 to 94040, 94041, or 94301 into a Peninsula corridor total here. That recode is a new dataset. Title and table on the ZIP 94043 FEC page should match $21,856,934 and 60,268. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov controls. California Fair Political Practices Commission filings never enter this federal sum. Named receipts on the donor directory answer identity questions this 60,268-line index cannot. Recheck after cycle-close amendments.

A researcher who only quotes $21,856,934 without 60,268 hides the $363 mean and the volume that produced it. Quote both. If a committee later amends the ZIP field on a large Mountain View-campus row, both figures move. Recheck the ZIP 94043 FEC page. This file is a snapshot, not an amendment log.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 94043?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 94043 total $21,856,934 across 60,268 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 Mountain View residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $363 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 94043?

LobbyVault counts 60,268 itemized contributions for ZIP 94043. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $21,856,934. Cite the line count with the matching dollar total, not as a headcount.

Does ZIP 94043 include only Mountain View residents?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Campus, office, and committee addresses in the 94043 grid can be part of $21,856,934 when that is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 60,268-line count follows the same rule.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 94043 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $21,856,934 and 60,268 lines for ZIP 94043. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. California state filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls.
