PLANO, TX

What $45,736,935 on the Plano city field covers

$45,736,935 divided by 149,124 is about $307 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 $45,736,935 and 149,124.

Collin County’s Plano sits on this string as a North Texas filing city, not as a score of suburb 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.

A Plano total of $45,736,935 does not absorb Frisco, McKinney, or Richardson. Those names are other city strings when filers typed them. State TX stays on the citation so PLANO, TX is not merged with a same-named place elsewhere. The 149,124 lines and the mean near $307 describe this key only.

Plano is a contributor city, not a Dallas recode

The city is the contributor-city value on FEC itemizations. Filers type it. LobbyVault does not geocode Plano against a municipal boundary file. A work address, a mail drop, or a household in a neighboring place that still typed PLANO can sit inside $45,736,935.

Amended reports can raise or lower both $45,736,935 and 149,124. If the live Plano hub reprints different figures, the newer FEC extract wins.

Questions

What is Plano’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?

Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city PLANO, TX total $45,736,935 across 149,124 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Plano residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.

How should I read Plano’s 149,124 contributions?

LobbyVault counts 149,124 itemized lines for PLANO, 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 $45,736,935.

Does Plano’s total include Dallas or Frisco?

Only if the filer typed PLANO. Dallas, Frisco, and McKinney are separate city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $45,736,935 is the PLANO, TX match. The 149,124 lines follow the same rule. Metro labels are not an FEC dimension on this hub.

Where do the Plano facts come from?

Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $45,736,935 and 149,124 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 $307 is arithmetic from those two packet numbers.
