Federal contributions from ZIP 94618

Dollar total filed under 94618

The $17,007,832 figure is a sum of itemized federal contributions tagged to 94618. It is not the City of Oakland’s campaign-finance portal and not Alameda County local filings. Money in this total can support federal committees anywhere. Unitemized gifts are absent by definition.

Seventy-nine thousand rows under a $17 million total is a dense pattern: many separate disclosed receipts rather than a handful of transfers. Density is still not a published unique-person count. It is a reason to expect the 94618 table to be long, with repeat names and modest itemized gifts likely mixed with larger lines.

Rockridge commercial strips can host committee mail next to retail. The $17,007,832 total does not map those storefronts. Seventy-nine thousand thirty-four itemizations will include whatever address the committee put in the ZIP box. A College Avenue PAC and a hillside household are equal in that box.

79,034 contributions as rows, not people

The extract counts 79,034 contributions for 94618. That is how many itemized lines share the ZIP. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this guide will not guess how many unique residents or workers sit behind the file. Earmarks, monthly gifts, and joint-fundraising splits all add rows.

At $17,007,832, a count of 79,034 is toward the high-volume end of this dollar band: a long receipt file rather than a short stack of transfers. Use that only as a row-count description. Do not convert it into a claim about civic enthusiasm; the FEC does not measure that.

Oakland municipal ethics filings are a separate universe. Do not add them to $17,007,832. Do not subtract them. This extract is FEC federal itemization only. The ZIP 94618 hub is the federal table. Caption it that way even when the search query was a city-council race.

Contributor ZIP versus neighborhood story

On an FEC itemization, 94618 is the five-digit ZIP the committee reported. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents. A professional suite in Rockridge can host committee mail that has nothing to do with the house next door.

Quote $17,007,832 as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure. If the question is whether the largest lines are individuals on College Avenue or PACs using the same code, only the hub’s committee column answers it.

Long files punish readers who stop at the largest line. After noting any PAC at the top of 94618, sample receipts further down so the 79,034 count has a face. Repeat monthly gifts will show up there. They are still not a unique-donor total.

Where to open 94618 receipts

The ZIP 94618 FEC page lists the itemizations behind $17,007,832 and 79,034 contributions. The all-ZIP index is the comparison set. The donor directory searches names across the wider FEC file when a 94618 row needs a match elsewhere.

FEC.gov is the source. LobbyVault indexes the ZIP field so the packet facts are visible without a manual merge of committee reports.

What this 94618 page does not contain

No unique-donor count, party split, cycle series, or per-resident ratio is in the packet. None of those appear here. The supported statements are the dollar total, the contribution count, FEC as source, and the five-digit ZIP definition including PAC and joint-fundraising addresses.

Rockridge rows and how to sample a long file

ZIP 94618 attaches $17,007,832 to 79,034 contributions, a long Oakland Rockridge file. Long files hide mix. A few large PAC lines can sit on top of tens of thousands of modest individual receipts, or the file can be individual names all the way down. The two packet numbers cannot tell those stories apart. Sorting the 94618 hub by amount can.

Unitemized gifts never enter $17,007,832. Itemized joint-fundraising and PAC receipts that listed 94618 do. A professional suite on College Avenue can share the ZIP with houses. Seventy-nine thousand thirty-four is a receipt count, not a unique-donor census, and this packet does not include one. Repeat monthly gifts will inflate the row total without inflating the number of people.

Alameda County local filings are outside this extract. Quote FEC.gov, open the ZIP 94618 FEC page, and use the all-ZIP index only as a catalog of other codes. The donor directory is for name lookup when a 94618 row needs a match elsewhere. No cycle trend or party share is stated here because those facts are not in the packet.

Questions

What is the FEC contribution total for ZIP 94618?

Itemizations listing 94618 total $17,007,832 across 79,034 contributions. Both figures are FEC disclosure aggregates for the five-digit contributor ZIP. They are not Oakland municipal filings and not a unique-donor census of Rockridge. LobbyVault indexes those FEC.gov itemizations so $17,007,832 and 79,034 contributions can be checked on the ZIP 94618 hub without assembling committee reports by hand.

Does 79,034 contributions mean 79,034 donors?

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 publish one. Inspect names on the ZIP 94618 FEC page. This packet still does not include a distinct-donor total, so 79,034 remains a receipt count for ZIP 94618 even after the hub is open.

Are joint-fundraising addresses in the 94618 total?

They can be. FEC stores the five-digit ZIP on the contribution. PAC and joint-fundraising mail using 94618 can sit inside the $17,007,832 sum with residential receipts. Committee names on the hub identify those lines. Read committee names on the largest ZIP 94618 lines before treating $17,007,832 as household-only money; the five-digit field does not make that distinction by itself.

Where are ZIP 94618 itemizations?

On the ZIP 94618 FEC page. Compare codes on the all-ZIP index and search names in the donor directory. Original reports are on FEC.gov. Those three LobbyVault paths plus FEC.gov are the full working set for verifying $17,007,832 and 79,034 contributions tagged to ZIP 94618.
