Federal contributions listing Houston, TX

What $860 million on the Houston city field includes

The $860,286,854 figure is the sum of federal contribution itemizations whose contributor city is Houston and whose contributor state is TX. One million six hundred eleven thousand eight hundred twenty-seven lines feed that sum. LobbyVault does not decide whether a downtown tower is a PAC mail room or an individual’s office. If the committee typed Houston, TX, the receipt stays in this bucket. That mechanical rule is what keeps the hub checkable against the public file.

Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio are stored as their own city strings. None of those labels is inside the Houston total. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents. Anyone quoting $860,286,854 as Houstonian giving is describing the city field, not a residency test. The 1,611,827 lines are disclosed receipts, not unique persons and not a voter roll.

A large itemization count under the dollar total

The 1,611,827 line count is high relative to many city hubs with similar dollar volume. That pattern usually means a thick file of separate receipts—including smaller individual contributions—rather than a handful of oversized transfers carrying the whole city. Both types still share one column. This page reports the combined file: dollars and lines together, without a hidden individuals-only cut.

Free-text city names also split the metro. Houston is not a fuzzy match for nearby municipalities that committees spelled differently. The 1,611,827 records are the literal match on HOUSTON. Researchers who want a combined Harris County picture must add other city hubs themselves. This guide does not invent that merge or extra dollar amounts that are not on the packet.

Texas Ethics Commission reports are a different disclosure system and are not mixed into $860,286,854 or the 1,611,827 itemizations. If a Houston politics chart uses state filings, it will not match this hub. Stay on the federal city page and ZIP pages for the FEC.gov cut, then use other LobbyVault hubs for occupation or recipient questions.

ZIP codes inside the Houston rollup

Postal codes on the same FEC lines separate Energy Corridor committee addresses from neighborhood ZIPs. The city page still shows $860,286,854 and 1,611,827 contributions as the combined string. ZIP pages regroup those filings without adding employer stories, party scores, or legal findings. They are a second cut of the same FEC.gov itemizations.

If a published chart shows a different Houston number, check whether the other source limited the date range, kept individuals only, or rolled suburbs into a metro. This rollup keeps every loaded itemization whose city field is Houston, TX. Matching another publisher requires matching that publisher’s filters.

What the Houston table is not

It is not a Texas Ethics Commission state-campaign total, not a count of unique donors, and not a ranking of candidates. Occupation and recipient committee live on other FEC fields and other LobbyVault hubs. The two facts that define this page remain $860,286,854 and 1,611,827 contribution records listing Houston, TX. Nothing here estimates how Houston voted.

Houston’s energy and medical corridors generate office addresses that look like the city even when the people attached to a receipt live in a suburb the committee typed separately. The $860,286,854 total does not resolve that. It sums every loaded itemization with city Houston and state TX. The 1,611,827 lines are the matching volume. ZIP pages split those lines without adding a residency test.

Source and next clicks

All numbers here are Federal Election Commission contribution itemizations aggregated by contributor city. Open the Houston city page for the live table, the cities index for other Texas labels, and ZIP pages for postal-code splits of the same 1,611,827 lines. The only dollar fact on this guide is $860,286,854.

Cite both facts. A dollar total alone hides how many separate receipts sit under the city string. A line count alone hides scale. This guide’s only permitted quantities remain $860,286,854 and 1,611,827 records from FEC.gov.
