Midland, Texas produced $82,334,215 on 108,952 lines, a mean near $756, without an industry tag in this packet.

Key figures

  • Contributor city MIDLAND, TX sums to $82,334,215 on 108,952 itemized federal receipts.
  • About $756 per line is $82,334,215 divided by 108,952.

  • Unitemized gifts and state-office campaigns are outside this total.
  • Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Midland, TX: the itemized dollar total

Divide $82,334,215 by 108,952 and the average itemized line is about $756. Averages hide mixed line sizes. This packet has no distribution, so $756 is a mean, not a typical resident gift.

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. West Texas orients Midland. Odessa is a different city string. Energy geography is not an FEC finding.

Annexation stories about Odessa, Fort Worth, or Lubbock do not rewrite $82,334,215. FEC city strings do not auto-follow city-limit changes. 108,952 contributions tagged MIDLAND, TX stay on this page until a filer types a different city. About $756 per line is still division.

Volume and average on the Midland book

Midland sits in a mid-range mean band on this extract: about $756 from $82,334,215 divided by 108,952. The pair is a city-field average, not a ranking of political intensity.

Questions

What is the FEC donation total for MIDLAND, TX?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city MIDLAND, TX total $82,334,215 across 108,952 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 Midland. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
Is 108,952 a count of Midland donors?
LobbyVault counts 108,952 itemized contributions for MIDLAND, TX. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 108,952 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $82,334,215.
Is MIDLAND, TX a residency total?
No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed MIDLAND with state TX. Office addresses and mail that list Midland can be part of $82,334,215 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 108,952-line count follows the same rule.
What is the source for MIDLAND, TX campaign money figures?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $82,334,215 and 108,952 lines for MIDLAND, 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. The mean of about $756 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

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