ODESSA, TX

Fewer lines, a higher mean

Thirty-five thousand six hundred seventy-six lines produce $32,434,662. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $909. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. It is not a typical Permian Basin household gift and not a unique-donor figure. FEC.gov does not publish a median on this city aggregate.

Midland, Andrews, and Big Spring keep separate Texas hubs. They are not inside $32,434,662 unless the filer typed ODESSA. Ector County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up.

Odessa, not Midland

News copy often pairs Odessa with Midland. FEC.gov stores two different city fields. This packet publishes ODESSA, TX only: $32,434,662 and 35,676 lines. Adding Midland would be a recode.

State TX on the key is required in the citation. Recheck both facts on the live hub if a later extract lands.

Questions

What is Odessa’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?

Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city ODESSA, TX total $32,434,662 across 35,676 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Odessa residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.

Why is Odessa’s mean near $909?

Divide $32,434,662 by 35,676 and the arithmetic mean is about $909. The line count is smaller than on many $32 million city hubs. That is a shape fact, not a typical gift and not a unique-donor figure. This packet publishes no median.

Does Odessa’s total include Midland?

Only if the filer typed ODESSA. Midland, Andrews, and Big Spring are separate city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $32,434,662 is the ODESSA, TX match. The 35,676 lines follow the same rule. Permian Basin is not an FEC dimension on this hub.

Where do the Odessa facts come from?

Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $32,434,662 and 35,676 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 $909 is arithmetic from those two packet numbers.
