A Peninsula ZIP with a long receipt list
$129,249,144 divided by 138,108 is about $936 per itemized line. That mean is closer to volume city ZIPs than to San Francisco financial-district 94104, which posts a much higher average on fewer lines. 94301 is a long list. Large PAC or joint-fundraising rows can still sit inside $129,249,144. They are diluted in the average by 138,108 lines.
One hundred thirty-eight thousand one hundred eight contributions is an itemization count, not a unique-person count. Repeat givers, University Avenue office addresses, and household pairs can lengthen the list. This packet has no donor headcount. Cite 138,108 as a contribution-line total.
No party split is published on $129,249,144. Tech-corridor geography is orientation. It is not an FEC finding about Silicon Valley ideology. The Commission stores a ZIP string.
94301 is not 94022 or 94104
Los Altos 94022 and San Francisco 94104 are separate FEC keys. This page cites only 94301: $129,249,144 and 138,108. Adding Peninsula and city ZIPs is a recode. FEC.gov did not publish a combined Bay Area figure here.
A PAC or joint fundraising committee that lists a Palo Alto address still posts 94301 when that is the ZIP on Schedule A. Household rows add the same way. Open the ZIP 94301 FEC page for named receipts rather than inferring the mix from the mean.

Questions
- How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 94301?
- FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 94301 total $129,249,144 across 138,108 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That figure is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of people who live in downtown Palo Alto. Joint fundraising committees and PAC addresses can appear in $129,249,144 when that five-digit code was filed. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
- How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 94301?
- LobbyVault counts 138,108 itemized contributions for ZIP 94301. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 138,108 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $129,249,144.
- Does ZIP 94301 include only residents of downtown Palo Alto?
- No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. PAC mail drops, joint fundraising committees, and office addresses in downtown Palo Alto can be part of $129,249,144 when 94301 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 138,108-line count follows the same rule. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.
- Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 94301 totals?
- The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $129,249,144 and 138,108 lines for ZIP 94301. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from downtown Palo Alto are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $936 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
ZIP is the 5-digit contributor ZIP on FEC itemizations. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents.
