ABILENE, TX

FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city ABILENE, TX sum to $18.0M across 40,309 contributions. Abilene is a West Texas mid-volume book in Taylor County in West Texas: 40,309 lines against $18.0M produces a mean near $446 from those two packet facts. The table is a contributor-city aggregate, not a unique-donor census and not a party score. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Key figures

  • $17,994,025 and 40,309 lines are the ABILENE, TX packet facts.
  • Mean near $446 is arithmetic, not a median resident.
  • Abilene is not Dallas on the FEC city key.
  • If the live hub disagrees, the newer FEC extract controls.

40,309 lines carrying $17,994,025

The headline pair is $17,994,025 and 40,309 lines. The implied average is about $446. Cite both numbers. Quoting only the dollars drops the line-count shape of the ABILENE book. Taylor County filers typed ABILENE with state TX.

Abilene is a Taylor County West Texas field, not a DFW annex. Dallas and Houston rows do not sit inside ABILENE, TX. Cisco is a neighboring Eastland string with its own hub. The city total can include a PAC or joint-fundraising committee address when that is the city filers typed. LobbyVault does not recode those rows out of the city string. Read $17,994,025 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of ABILENE gave. The 40,309 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints ABILENE together with Sweetwater, Cisco, and San Angelo, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $17,994,025 on 40,309 ABILENE, TX rows, mean near $446. Keep the stored spelling ABILENE in the citation.

Why ABILENE on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Abilene give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city ABILENE, TX total $17,994,025 across 40,309 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. No. ABILENE, TX is the stored Taylor County string. Dallas is a different city key.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $17,994,025. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $446 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city ABILENE, TX?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city ABILENE, TX total $17,994,025 across 40,309 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That figure is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of people who live in Abilene. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $446 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
Is Abilene folded into Dallas on this extract?
No. ABILENE, TX is the stored Taylor County string. Dallas is a different city key. LobbyVault counts 40,309 itemized contributions for ABILENE, TX against $17,994,025. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 40,309 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.
Does the Abilene total include only residents?
No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed ABILENE with state TX. Office addresses and mail that list Abilene can be part of $17,994,025 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 40,309-line count follows the same rule.
Are Abilene numbers from FEC.gov?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $17,994,025 and 40,309 lines for ABILENE, TX. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from TX are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.

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