FT WORTH, TX

42,821 lines carrying $16,004,978

Filers typed FT WORTH with state TX. LobbyVault summed that abbreviation, not the FORT WORTH twin. The headline pair is $16,004,978 and 42,821 lines, a mean near $374. Tarrant County geography orients; it does not recode the abbreviation into the spelled-out key.

Keep the stored spelling FT WORTH. The spelled-out FORT WORTH string is a different FEC city key and a separate LobbyVault page. Do not merge the two spellings. Dallas and Arlington are other city fields. 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 $16,004,978 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of FT WORTH gave. The 42,821 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints FT WORTH together with Dallas, Arlington, and Haltom City, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $16,004,978 on 42,821 FT WORTH, TX rows, mean near $374. Keep the stored spelling FT WORTH in the citation.

Why FT WORTH on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in FT WORTH give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city FT WORTH, TX total $16,004,978 across 42,821 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. FT WORTH, TX is the stored abbreviation. FORT WORTH is a different city-string page. Keep the spellings separate.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $16,004,978. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $374 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city FT WORTH, TX?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city FT WORTH, TX total $16,004,978 across 42,821 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 FT WORTH. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $374 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Should FT WORTH be added to the FORT WORTH total?

No. FT WORTH, TX is the stored abbreviation. FORT WORTH is a different city-string page. Keep the spellings separate. LobbyVault counts 42,821 itemized contributions for FT WORTH, TX against $16,004,978. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 42,821 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the FT WORTH total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed FT WORTH with state TX. Office addresses and mail that list FT WORTH can be part of $16,004,978 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 42,821-line count follows the same rule.

Are FT WORTH numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $16,004,978 and 42,821 lines for FT WORTH, 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.
