Federal contributions from ZIP 95014

Reading the $17,268,584 ZIP total

Seventeen million two hundred sixty-eight thousand five hundred eighty-four dollars is the sum of itemized receipts that carried 95014 in the contributor ZIP field. LobbyVault did not survey residents; it added FEC line items. The total will miss anything that never met the Commission’s itemization threshold, and it will include anything that did—including large committee-side money if that committee’s reported ZIP is 95014.

For a searcher, the dollar figure answers a narrow question: how much disclosed federal contribution activity is tagged to this code. It does not answer who won a local race, how employees at a particular company gave, or how the money split by party. Those cuts require the itemized table, and even then only for rows that exist in FEC files.

70,187 contributions as a receipt inventory

The 70,187 contributions attached to 95014 describe how many disclosed rows share the ZIP, not how many unique people live in it. This packet does not provide a distinct-donor number, and this page will not fabricate one. Repeat itemizations from the same name, earmarked pass-throughs, and joint-fundraising splits can all raise the row count without raising the number of people.

Seventy thousand rows is a dense file. It is large enough that a few headline gifts will not be the whole story, and large enough that scrolling the hub beats guessing. If a researcher needs a name, the donor directory is the cross-file search; if the need is ZIP-specific, stay on the 95014 hub.

PAC and joint-fundraising addresses in the same ZIP

FEC itemizations store a five-digit contributor ZIP. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents. In a code that also hosts corporate campuses and professional offices, that caveat is not theoretical: a committee’s reported mail ZIP can be 95014 even when the people who signed the checks live elsewhere.

The $17,268,584 total remains accurate as a ZIP-field sum either way. What changes is the neighborhood story a reader might want to tell. Open committee names on the largest lines before quoting 95014 as a portrait of households.

How to use the 95014 LobbyVault pages

Start at the ZIP 95014 FEC page for the receipts behind $17,268,584 and 70,187 contributions. Use the all-ZIP index to place this code among other five-digit totals. Use the donor directory only when a specific name needs a lookup outside the ZIP filter.

Every number on this guide is taken from the packet facts for 95014. Cycle charts, party splits, and employer tables are outside this file. If those views exist on the hub, they come from the same FEC itemizations, not from extra statistics invented here.

What not to infer from 95014 alone

Do not convert $17,268,584 into a per-person figure. Do not treat 70,187 as a headcount. Do not assume the money stayed in Santa Clara County races; federal itemizations fund federal committees wherever those committees file. The record supports a ZIP-tagged total and a ZIP-tagged row count. That is the full claim.

What itemization leaves out of 95014

The $17,268,584 total is only as complete as FEC itemization. Cupertino-area gifts that stayed under the reporting threshold never enter the number. Gifts that were itemized—and any PAC or joint-fundraising receipt that listed 95014—do enter it. Corporate campuses in the code make that second category worth checking, because a committee’s mail ZIP can be 95014 even when the people who signed checks live in another code.

Seventy thousand one hundred eighty-seven contributions is a long list. Start with the largest lines on the 95014 hub to see whether committee-side money is present, then scroll. Repeat names are expected in a file this size; they are not a unique-donor census. Employer fields on individual receipts, if filled, are public-record labels from the committee’s filing, not a LobbyVault classification of the tech industry.

This guide will not convert $17,268,584 into a per-worker or per-resident figure. It will not assign the money to a party. It will not guess how many unique people sit behind 70,187 rows. Use the ZIP 95014 FEC page for the receipts, the all-ZIP index for other codes, and the donor directory when a name needs a match outside 95014. Quote FEC.gov as the source.

Questions

What is the FEC contribution total for ZIP 95014?

Itemizations listing contributor ZIP 95014 total $17,268,584. The extract counts 70,187 contributions with that five-digit code. Both figures are FEC disclosure aggregates indexed on LobbyVault, not a poll of Cupertino-area residents and not a unique-donor census. LobbyVault indexes those FEC.gov itemizations so $17,268,584 and 70,187 contributions can be checked on the ZIP 95014 hub without assembling committee reports by hand.

Are the 70,187 contributions unique donors?

No. Seventy thousand one hundred eighty-seven is a count of itemized receipts. The same person can appear on many rows. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this page does not state how many unique people gave from 95014. Inspect names on the ZIP hub.

Does ZIP 95014 include PAC money?

It can. The FEC records the five-digit ZIP on the contribution. Joint-fundraising committees and PAC addresses that use 95014 are included in the $17,268,584 sum along with any residential receipts that list the same code. Committee names on the hub identify those lines.

Where do I read 95014 itemizations?

The ZIP 95014 FEC page holds the table for this code. Compare other ZIPs on the all-ZIP index, and search names in the donor directory.

Those three LobbyVault paths plus FEC.gov are the full working set for verifying $17,268,584 and 70,187 contributions tagged to ZIP 95014.
