FEC itemizations that list ZIP 90403 add up to $16,955,007 across 64,882 contributions. The code is a Santa Monica five-digit postal label on federal receipts, not a city clerk’s local campaign file. Numbers come from FEC.gov records indexed on LobbyVault. This page states the two packet facts, explains the ZIP field, and links to the hub for the rows.

Key figures

  • ZIP 90403 FEC itemizations total $16,955,007.
  • 64,882 contributions list 90403 as the contributor ZIP.
  • The row count is not a unique-donor census.
  • PAC and joint-fundraising addresses can be included in the ZIP total.

What $16,955,007 on 90403 represents

The dollar total is the sum of disclosed federal contribution lines that carried 90403. Federal candidates and PACs in any state can receive that money. California state and Santa Monica municipal races generally sit outside this extract. Unitemized gifts never enter the $16,955,007 figure.

Sixty-four thousand rows under that total is a long receipt file. Long files usually mix modest itemized gifts, repeat names, and some larger lines. This page will not publish an average or a party split, because those cuts are not in the packet. The 90403 hub is the place to see mix.

Santa Monica 90403 produced $16,955,007 across 64,882 contributions. Tourism and residential addresses share the code. A hotel-adjacent office can itemize 90403 as easily as a condo. The FEC ZIP field records the digits, not the occupancy type. The hub’s name and committee columns are the only fix.

64,882 itemizations without a headcount

The extract lists 64,882 contributions for 90403. That count is how many disclosed rows share the ZIP. It is not how many unique donors live near Wilshire and Montana, and this packet does not include a distinct-person total. Monthly gifts and earmarks each add a row.

Treat 64,882 as an inventory size. A searcher who needs a person should filter the ZIP table or use the donor directory. Dividing $16,955,007 by the row count is not an FEC-published typical gift, and this guide will not present it as one.

City of Santa Monica public-financing rules do not rewrite FEC itemization. Keep $16,955,007 in the federal column of any story. Mixing local matching funds with this total would be an invented sum. This packet has one dollar figure and one row count. Use those.

Questions

What is the FEC contribution total for ZIP 90403?
Itemizations listing 90403 total $16,955,007 across 64,882 contributions. Both figures are FEC disclosure aggregates for the five-digit contributor ZIP. They are not a unique-donor census of Santa Monica and not a city local-filing total. LobbyVault indexes those FEC.gov itemizations so $16,955,007 and 64,882 contributions can be checked on the ZIP 90403 hub without assembling committee reports by hand.
Does 64,882 contributions mean 64,882 people donated?
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 invent one. Names appear on the ZIP 90403 FEC page. This packet still does not include a distinct-donor total, so 64,882 remains a receipt count for ZIP 90403 even after the hub is open.
Can PAC addresses be inside the 90403 total?
Yes. FEC stores the ZIP on the contribution record. Joint-fundraising committees and PAC mail using 90403 can sit inside the $16,955,007 sum with residential gifts. Committee names on the hub identify those receipts. Read committee names on the largest ZIP 90403 lines before treating $16,955,007 as household-only money; the five-digit field does not make that distinction by itself.
Where can I read 90403 itemizations?
On the ZIP 90403 FEC page. Compare codes on the all-ZIP index and search names in the donor directory. Original filings are on FEC.gov. Those three LobbyVault paths plus FEC.gov are the full working set for verifying $16,955,007 and 64,882 contributions tagged to ZIP 90403.

ZIP is the 5-digit contributor ZIP on FEC itemizations. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents.
