AMARILLO, TX: $36.5M on 105,665 FEC receipts

Amarillo’s volume on the High Plains

One hundred five thousand six hundred sixty-five lines produce $36,548,245. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $346. Canyon and Hereford are other nearby city strings. They are not inside $36,548,245 unless the filer typed AMARILLO.

Lubbock keeps a separate Texas hub. Potter County and Randall County are orientation, not an FEC roll-up. $36,548,245 is the AMARILLO match only.

Not Dallas, Houston, or a Panhandle recode

Dallas and Houston keep separate Texas hubs. Recoding Amarillo into a Panhandle sum would mix keys. This packet publishes AMARILLO, TX only: $36,548,245 and 105,665 lines.

Household streets and office addresses can share the city field. Totals can include a PAC or joint-fundraising address when that is what filers typed. The 105,665 lines are receipts, not unique persons. Recheck both facts on the live hub after a later extract.

City string versus ZIP cut

FEC.gov stores whatever city appeared on the itemized receipt. AMARILLO plus TX is the match. Recoding into a Census place or a metro-Amarillo label is a different dataset.

ZIP pages cut the same federal series by postal code. Summing Amarillo-area ZIPs can diverge from $36,548,245 when some receipts used Canyon as the city. The 105,665-line count follows the city field.

What sits outside the pair

Texas state campaigns file under state law. Those receipts are outside $36,548,245 and outside 105,665. Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures that never appear as contribution itemizations are outside both facts.

Nothing here estimates how Amarillo voted. Occupation and recipient live on other FEC fields. Use the city table, then ZIP pages, then the cities index.

Citing AMARILLO, TX

Name FEC.gov, name contributor city, and print $36,548,245 with 105,665 together. Dropping the line count hides a mean near $346 and a volume Panhandle book.

If the live hub disagrees with this snapshot, trust the hub. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Amarillo receipt matters. Lubbock remains a different Texas hub.

How to use the Amarillo hub

Start on the live Amarillo city page. $36,548,245 is the city-string dollar total in this snapshot. 105,665 is the matching line count. Those two numbers move together when FEC.gov amends a receipt. They do not move because a researcher prefers Canyon, Hereford, or Lubbock as the “real” High Plains address. Filers typed AMARILLO. LobbyVault indexed AMARILLO. Potter County and Randall County are useful for maps. They are not FEC dimensions on this hub. A mean near $346 is only $36,548,245 divided by 105,665. It is not a typical Amarillo household gift. Occupation, recipient, and party live on other FEC fields. None of those fields are in this packet. Do not infer turnout. Dallas and Houston remain other Texas hubs. Lubbock remains a different Texas hub. None of those pairs belong inside $36,548,245.

Cite the pair in one sentence: contributor city AMARILLO, TX, $36,548,245, 105,665 itemized federal contributions, source FEC.gov via LobbyVault. If a later extract on the live hub prints a different pair, discard this snapshot. Original filings remain on FEC.gov for any named Amarillo receipt that needs a line-by-line check. Texas non-federal filings never enter either fact. Unitemized federal gifts never enter either fact. Independent expenditures that are not contribution itemizations never enter either fact. 105,665 is not a unique-donor census. A high line count can include repeat givers. $36,548,245 is still the dollar sum of those lines. Quote both. The live Amarillo hub is the table. This guide is the footnote. ZIP pages split a different field. Keep TX on the key. Panhandle language does not replace the city field.

Amarillo’s pair on this extract is $36,548,245 and 105,665 lines, mean near $346. Print both. Canyon and Hereford remain other nearby strings. Lubbock, Dallas, and Houston remain other Texas hubs. Potter County and Randall County are orientation. Texas state campaigns and unitemized federal gifts sit outside both facts. Repeat givers can inflate 105,665 without adding unique persons. The live Amarillo FEC page is the authority if this snapshot and the hub diverge. Open FEC.gov for a named receipt. Quote contributor city AMARILLO, TX with both packet numbers. Panhandle language does not replace the city field.
