FT WORTH, TX: $16.0M on 42,821 FEC receipts

42,821 lines carrying $16,004,978

Filers typed FT WORTH with state TX. LobbyVault summed that abbreviation, not the FORT WORTH twin. The headline pair is $16,004,978 and 42,821 lines, a mean near $374. Tarrant County geography orients; it does not recode the abbreviation into the spelled-out key.

Keep the stored spelling FT WORTH. The spelled-out FORT WORTH string is a different FEC city key and a separate LobbyVault page. Do not merge the two spellings. Dallas and Arlington are other city fields. 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 $16,004,978 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of FT WORTH gave. The 42,821 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints FT WORTH together with Dallas, Arlington, and Haltom City, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $16,004,978 on 42,821 FT WORTH, TX rows, mean near $374. Keep the stored spelling FT WORTH in the citation.

Why FT WORTH on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in FT WORTH give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city FT WORTH, TX total $16,004,978 across 42,821 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. FT WORTH, TX is the stored abbreviation. FORT WORTH is a different city-string page. Keep the spellings separate.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $16,004,978. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $374 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Outside the FT WORTH itemized book

$16,004,978 is not spending by FT WORTH candidates. A candidate who lives in FT WORTH can raise money from other cities. A donor row tagged FT WORTH, TX can go to a committee anywhere. Unitemized federal gifts sit outside both packet facts.

Postal confusion with Dallas, Arlington, and Haltom City is why the city field is a poor residency proxy. $16,004,978 counts rows that stored FT WORTH, TX. 42,821 lines. About $374 each. Neighbor names need their own hubs. TX state-office receipts are omitted.

FT WORTH versus Dallas on the FEC tape

FT WORTH is an abbreviated Tarrant County spelling book in Tarrant County in North Texas. 42,821 lines produce $16,004,978, a mean near $374. That line count is not a unique-donor count. Comparing this mean to Dallas is only valid on the same series: contributor city, itemized federal receipts.

A FT WORTH total of $16,004,978 does not absorb Dallas, Arlington, and Haltom City. Those names are other city strings when filers typed them. State TX stays on the citation so FT WORTH, TX is not merged with a same-named place elsewhere. Mixing in TX state-campaign data breaks the comparison.

City total versus postal codes in TX

42,821 city-field lines can spread across many ZIPs or cluster in a few. This packet does not list those ZIPs. Open the ZIP directory and the live FT WORTH hub rather than guessing the split. After an amendment wave, recheck both the city hub and any ZIP you compared. Snapshots drift independently.

Because this packet carries only city, state, dollar total, and contribution count, every other story about FT WORTH politics sits outside the extract. That includes candidate quality, issue fights, and local election results. This guide stays on the two numbers FEC.gov supplied for the city field: $16,004,978 and 42,821.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city FT WORTH, TX?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city FT WORTH, TX total $16,004,978 across 42,821 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 FT WORTH. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $374 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Should FT WORTH be added to the FORT WORTH total?

No. FT WORTH, TX is the stored abbreviation. FORT WORTH is a different city-string page. Keep the spellings separate. LobbyVault counts 42,821 itemized contributions for FT WORTH, TX against $16,004,978. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 42,821 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the FT WORTH total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed FT WORTH with state TX. Office addresses and mail that list FT WORTH can be part of $16,004,978 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 42,821-line count follows the same rule.

Are FT WORTH numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $16,004,978 and 42,821 lines for FT WORTH, 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.
