AMARILLO, TX

FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city AMARILLO, TX sum to $36,548,245 across 105,665 contributions. Amarillo’s line count is a volume Panhandle book: more than one hundred five thousand receipts on a thirty-six-million-dollar total, which pulls the mean toward three hundred fifty. The table is a contributor-city aggregate, not a unique-donor census. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Key figures

  • Amarillo’s federal itemized city book is $36,548,245 across 105,665 contributions.
  • The mean near $346 reflects a high line count on this extract.
  • Cite contributor city, dollars, and line count together.
  • Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

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.
