BEAUMONT, TX

What $27,458,002 on the Beaumont city field covers

$27,458,002 divided by 57,928 is about $474 per itemized line. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. FEC.gov does not publish a median, a unique-donor count, or a party split on this city aggregate. LobbyVault reports $27,458,002 and 57,928.

Jefferson County’s Beaumont is the filing city on these rows, not a score of refinery-corridor races. 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.

Beaumont is a contributor city, not a Golden Triangle recode

The city is the contributor-city value on FEC itemizations. Filers type it. LobbyVault does not geocode Beaumont against a municipal boundary file. A work address, a mail drop, or a household in a neighboring place that still typed BEAUMONT can sit inside $27,458,002.

Port Arthur, Orange, and Nederland are other Golden Triangle city strings. They are not inside $27,458,002 unless the filer typed BEAUMONT. Jefferson County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up. A Port Arthur household typed as BEAUMONT sits inside the pair; a Beaumont household typed as PORT ARTHUR does not. Amended reports can raise or lower both $27,458,002 and 57,928. If the live Beaumont hub reprints different figures, the newer FEC extract wins.

Questions

What is Beaumont’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?

Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city BEAUMONT, TX total $27,458,002 across 57,928 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Beaumont residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.

How should I read Beaumont’s 57,928 contributions?

LobbyVault counts 57,928 itemized lines for BEAUMONT, 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 $27,458,002.

Does Beaumont’s total include Houston or Port Arthur?

Only if the filer typed BEAUMONT. Houston, Port Arthur, and Orange are separate city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $27,458,002 is the BEAUMONT, TX match. The 57,928 lines follow the same rule. Metro labels are not an FEC dimension on this hub.

Where do the Beaumont facts come from?

Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $27,458,002 and 57,928 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. The mean of about $474 is arithmetic from those two packet numbers.
