Key figures

  • ZIP 94303 FEC itemizations total $26,379,497 across 78,915 contributions.
  • The mean line is about $334; the packet has no median or unique-donor count.
  • 94303 is a five-digit FEC contributor ZIP, not a resident roster.
  • Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Seventy-eight thousand Peninsula receipts

$26,379,497 divided by 78,915 is about $334 per itemized line. That mean belongs with high-volume Peninsula codes: tens of thousands of rows, dollars in the high $20 millions, no median in the packet. The average is a ratio, not a typical East Palo Alto household check.

Seventy-eight thousand nine hundred fifteen itemizations is a long receipt list. Repeat gifts, workplace itemizations, and bundled events can all add rows. 78,915 is not a headcount of people who live near University Avenue or along Bay Road.

No party share is attached to $26,379,497. Employer strings sit on other LobbyVault views. 94303 is a geographic key on the contributor record. Cite 78,915 contributions with that total whenever the ZIP is quoted.

East Peninsula ZIP on Schedule A

94303 covers East Palo Alto and overlapping Palo Alto east-side mail. A contributor who lists a residential street, a local office, or a committee that files 94303 adds to $26,379,497 when that ZIP is on the itemization. Treating the total as household-only giving misstates the field.

The 78,915-line count includes memo entries and redesignations. This guide does not invent a person count the packet omitted. Peninsula geography is orientation only.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 94303?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 94303 total $26,379,497 across 78,915 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of East Palo Alto residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $334 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 94303?
LobbyVault counts 78,915 itemized contributions for ZIP 94303. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. Those rows are itemized Schedule A lines, not people. The matching dollar total is $26,379,497.
Does ZIP 94303 include only East Palo Alto residents?
No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office and committee addresses in the 94303 grid can be part of $26,379,497 when that is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 78,915-line count follows the same rule.
Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 94303 totals?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $26,379,497 and 78,915 lines for ZIP 94303. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. California state filings are outside both figures. LobbyVault is the index, not the filing system. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls.

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