How much did ZIP 92626 show in FEC itemized totals?

Receipts listing 92626 total $13,719,355 across 46,205 contributions. Those figures are FEC disclosure aggregates for the five-digit contributor ZIP. They are not a unique-donor census of Costa Mesa and not the California FPPC campaign totals.

Does 46,205 contributions mean 46,205 people donated?

No. The figure counts itemized receipts. One person can appear many times. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this page does not invent one. See names on the ZIP 92626 FEC page. Repeat gifts and memo entries add rows without adding new people.

Does ZIP 92626 include California state races?

No. This extract is federal FEC itemizations. California FPPC filings sit outside $13,719,355. Unitemized federal gifts are also out. Use the ZIP 92626 FEC page for the federal table. The packet facts stop at $13,719,355 and the contribution count. Named payees, dates, and employer strings live on the ZIP 92626 FEC page, not in this summary.

Where can I see 92626 itemizations?

On the ZIP 92626 FEC page. Compare codes on the all-ZIP index and search names in the donor directory. Original filings are on FEC.gov. This guide quotes only the harvested packet facts: $13,719,355, 46,205 contributions, and the five-digit contributor ZIP.

Unique Donors

Itemized federal contributions that list ZIP 92626 add up to $13.7M across 46,205 contributions. The five-digit code is the contributor ZIP on FEC.gov receipts, not a California FPPC local file. Forty-six thousand lines at this dollar scale is a mid-to-high receipt file rather than a thin stack of oversized transfers. Numbers come from FEC.gov records indexed on LobbyVault.

Key figures

ZIP 92626 FEC itemizations total $13,719,355 ($13.7M).
46,205 contributions list 92626 as the contributor ZIP.
Costa Mesa’s 92626 tag is a filing key, not an Orange County headcount.
This packet has no unique-donor count.

Costa Mesa’s $13,719,355 FEC sum

$13,719,355 is a sum of disclosed federal contribution lines that carried 92626 in the ZIP field. Federal committees anywhere in the country can receive that money. The California FPPC filings and local municipal races generally sit outside this extract. Unitemized gifts never enter the total. Quote $13.7M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure, not as a census of what every household in Costa Mesa spent.

Forty-six thousand two hundred five rows sits toward the high side of mid-length $14 million ZIP files. A list of this length can still mix large committee transfers with small itemized gifts. This aggregate does not name the mix of individuals and committee traffic that share 92626. Orange County geography on the form is not a party split.

No party share, cycle series, or unique-person census is attached to $13,719,355. LobbyVault does not recode the ZIP field into a central Orange County political score. Readers who want named payees, dates, or employer strings should open the live hub rather than infer a story from the line count alone. The supported facts in this packet are the dollar total, the contribution count, FEC as source, and the five-digit ZIP definition. Nothing in the packet assigns $13.7M to a party, a cycle, or a unique-person roster.

46,205 contributions without a donor roster

The extract lists 46,205 contributions for 92626. That is a receipt count, not a unique-person census. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this guide does not invent how many people sit behind Costa Mesa filings. A mid-length file at $13.7M can still mix large committee transfers with small itemized gifts. Repeat gifts and memo entries still add rows.

A list of 46,205 rows is practical to scan by amount. If a few committee lines account for a visible share of $13,719,355, the committee column on the hub will show it. If the total is many individual names, that will show too. This page will not publish an average as if the FEC printed one. Keep 92626 as a geographic key on the contributor record, not as a Costa Mesa political score.
