TYLER, TX

61,548 lines carrying $22,499,970

The headline pair is $22,499,970 and 61,548 lines. The implied average is about $366. Cite both numbers. Quoting only the dollars drops the line-count shape of the TYLER book. Smith County filers typed TYLER with state TX.

Tyler is an East Texas Smith County concentration, not a DFW annex. Longview is a neighboring string with its own total. Dallas and Houston rows do not sit inside TYLER, TX. 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 $22,499,970 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of TYLER gave. The 61,548 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints TYLER together with Longview, Kilgore, and Lindale, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $22,499,970 on 61,548 TYLER, TX rows, mean near $366. Keep the stored spelling TYLER in the citation.

Why TYLER on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Tyler give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city TYLER, TX total $22,499,970 across 61,548 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. Dallas is a different city string. Tyler’s packet facts are Smith County rows stored as TYLER, TX only.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $22,499,970. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $366 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city TYLER, TX?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city TYLER, TX total $22,499,970 across 61,548 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 Tyler. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $366 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Is Tyler folded into Dallas on this extract?

Dallas is a different city string. Tyler’s packet facts are Smith County rows stored as TYLER, TX only. LobbyVault counts 61,548 itemized contributions for TYLER, TX against $22,499,970. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 61,548 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the Tyler total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed TYLER with state TX. Office addresses and mail that list Tyler can be part of $22,499,970 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 61,548-line count follows the same rule.

Are Tyler numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $22,499,970 and 61,548 lines for TYLER, 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.
