AMARILLO, TX

Amarillo’s volume on the High Plains
One hundred five thousand six hundred sixty-five lines produce $36,548,245. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $346. Canyon and Hereford are other nearby city strings. They are not inside $36,548,245 unless the filer typed AMARILLO.
Lubbock keeps a separate Texas hub. Potter County and Randall County are orientation, not an FEC roll-up. $36,548,245 is the AMARILLO match only.
Not Dallas, Houston, or a Panhandle recode
Dallas and Houston keep separate Texas hubs. Recoding Amarillo into a Panhandle sum would mix keys. This packet publishes AMARILLO, TX only: $36,548,245 and 105,665 lines.
Household streets and office addresses can share the city field. Totals can include a PAC or joint-fundraising address when that is what filers typed. The 105,665 lines are receipts, not unique persons. Recheck both facts on the live hub after a later extract.

Questions
- What is Amarillo’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?
- Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city AMARILLO, TX total $36,548,245 across 105,665 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Amarillo residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.
- How should I read Amarillo’s 105,665 contributions?
- LobbyVault counts 105,665 itemized lines for AMARILLO, TX. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding donors. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $36,548,245.
- Does Amarillo’s total include Lubbock or Dallas?
- Only if the filer typed AMARILLO. Lubbock and Dallas are separate Texas city hubs. $36,548,245 is the AMARILLO, TX match. The 105,665 lines follow the same rule. Panhandle and county labels are not an FEC dimension on this hub.
- Where do the Amarillo facts come from?
- Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $36,548,245 and 105,665 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Texas non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls.
City is the contributor city on FEC itemizations. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents.
