La Jolla, CA political money — 2014 cycle
Subtract $162,833 from La Jolla, CA's $71,515,979 citywide itemized book and $71,353,146 remains in other cycles. The subtracted piece is the 2014 join: 218 FEC individual contribution records from contributor city LA JOLLA in CA. Figures are FEC.gov aggregates. The subtraction is arithmetic on this extract, not a finding that 2014 was unusually high or low.
Key figures
- La Jolla, CA donors itemized $162,833 in the 2014 FEC cycle across 218 contributions.
- The La Jolla, CA city aggregate across cycles is $71,515,979; 2014 is 0.23% of that total.
- This page joins donor city La Jolla with election cycle 2014; it is not the city hub or the national cycle hub.
- Donor city is not recipient city; the $162,833 is not allocated by office or party here.
- Mean itemized gift size is about $747 ($162,833 / 218 rows), not a unique-donor average.
Remainder math for La Jolla after 2014
$71,515,979 minus $162,833 equals $71,353,146. $162,833 is 0.23% of the city book; $71,353,146 is 99.8%. Both percentages use the same denominator. They are not shares of California and not shares of the national 2014 cycle. A thin slice of the citywide book describes this pair only.
The 2014 piece still has a row count (218, a relatively large itemized file for this city string) and a mean (about $747). 2014 is a midterm election cycle. Calendar class and remainder dollars are separate facts. Neither identifies recipients or donors by name.
What each hub still holds for La Jolla, CA
The city hub still holds $71,515,979, including the 2014 slice. The 2014 election cycle hub still holds every city, including La Jolla. This tie page holds only the overlap. Reading any one of those three pages as if it were the other two is the error this URL is meant to prevent.
La Jolla is a San Diego neighborhood frequently stored apart from SAN DIEGO. Del Mar and San Diego proper are other California city keys. State CA is part of the key. California campaign finance includes this city and every other city in the state; do not stack $162,833 onto that total.
Donor city is not recipient city. A CA address on an individual receipt does not mean the money supported a California candidate. Party, office, and committee ID are not in this packet.
Omitted money
Unitemized gifts never enter $162,833 or $71,515,979. Independent expenditures never enter them. State-office campaigns never enter them. Federal contract and grant obligations never enter them. All FEC ties lists other LobbyVault joins; none converts FEC receipts into USAspending awards.
City labels are filer-entered. Adjacent suburbs and neighborhood names are other keys. 218 counts lines stored as LA JOLLA in 2014, not a metro total.
No ranking, no motive
This page does not rank La Jolla against other cities and does not treat itemized giving as public opinion. Correlation is not causation. Amended filings can revise either dollar figure. If live pages disagree, the newer FEC extract controls.
Source note, restated: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by donor city and election cycle. Original reports remain on the Commission site. LobbyVault indexes the join so a reader can hold $162,833 for La Jolla, CA in 2014 without mistaking it for the $71,515,979 city book. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission filing controls.

Operational definition: 218 itemized contributions totaling $162,833 for La Jolla, CA in 2014, against $71,515,979 citywide.
Dollar share (0.23%) and row volume (218) are separate facts. A thin dollar slice can sit next to a relatively large itemized file for this city string; those labels describe this pair, not other cities. This packet does not include a citywide row count across all cycles, so a row-share percentage is not computed. Do not treat 0.23% as La Jolla's share of the 2014 national cycle.
Occupation, industry, and committee cuts of $162,833 are other joins. This city-cycle page does not break the 218 receipts by employer, occupation, party, or recipient. Inventing those breakdowns would go beyond the facts. The only names on this page are the stored city string LA JOLLA, the state CA, and the cycle year 2014.
A candidate who lives in La Jolla can raise money from other cities; those gifts are not this join. A candidate who lives elsewhere can raise money from La Jolla; those gifts are this join when the contributor city stored LA JOLLA. Residence of the candidate is not a field in this packet. $162,833 is contributor geography in cycle 2014, nothing else.
Questions
- Why does La Jolla, CA have a separate 2014 page?
- Because the city hub and the cycle hub answer different questions. La Jolla, CA across cycles is $71,515,979. 2014 nationally mixes every donor city. The tie page isolates contributor city LA JOLLA in CA during cycle 2014: $162,833 across 218 itemized receipts.
- Can I add $162,833 to the California state total?
- Do not add it a second time. California campaign-finance pages already include La Jolla when the same extract is used. Double-counting $162,833 inflates the state figure. This join is a filter, not a new pool of money sitting outside the state table.
- What does the 2014 cycle tag mean for La Jolla?
- 2014 is a midterm election cycle: a two-year FEC window, not a single calendar year of January gifts. Inside that window, La Jolla, CA donors itemized $162,833 on 218 rows. The tag is the Commission’s cycle field on the receipt, not an explanation of motive.
- Does this page name La Jolla committees or donors?
- No. The packet has city, state, cycle, cycle dollars, cycle row count, and citywide dollars. It does not list contributor names, committee IDs, occupations, or parties. Inventing those labels would go beyond FEC.gov aggregates stored here. Use the live hubs for row-level browsing.
