EL PASO, TX

FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city EL PASO, TX sum to $55,994,876 across 155,208 contributions. El Paso’s pair sits beside Des Moines on dollars with a similar line count. The table is a contributor-city aggregate, not a unique-donor census and not a statewide book. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Key figures

  • El Paso’s federal itemized city book is $55,994,876 across 155,208 contributions.
  • Cite contributor city, dollars, and line count together.
  • This page is not a Texas statewide total.
  • Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

El Paso’s federal city pair

Divide $55,994,876 by 155,208 and the average itemized line is about $361. That mean is arithmetic. This packet has no median.

Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio are other Texas city hubs. They are not inside $55,994,876. Las Cruces, New Mexico is another city string in another state. El Paso County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up.

A PAC or joint-fundraising committee that listed El Paso can share the city field with household streets. LobbyVault does not recode those rows. The 155,208 lines are receipts, not unique persons.

El Paso is not Texas and not a two-city border sum

State TX on the key identifies the city string. It does not convert $55,994,876 into a statewide total. Adding Las Cruces or Ciudad Juárez labels is a recode this packet does not publish; this hub is EL PASO, TX only.

Keep EL PASO, TX as the citation. Recheck $55,994,876 and 155,208 on the live hub after a later extract.

Questions

What is El Paso’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?
Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city EL PASO, TX total $55,994,876 across 155,208 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of El Paso residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.
How should I read El Paso’s 155,208 contributions?
LobbyVault counts 155,208 itemized lines for EL PASO, TX. That is a line count, not a headcount. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding donors. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $55,994,876. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 155,208 should not be quoted as an El Paso population of donors.
Does El Paso’s total include Houston or Las Cruces?
No. Houston is a separate Texas city hub. Las Cruces is a New Mexico city string. $55,994,876 is the EL PASO, TX match. The 155,208 lines follow the same rule. Statewide and border-metro labels are not FEC dimensions on this page. Houston is a separate Texas hub; Las Cruces is a New Mexico city string, not inside $55,994,876.
Where do the El Paso facts come from?
Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $55,994,876 and 155,208 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 $361 is arithmetic from those two packet numbers.

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