Knox Industries political contributions from Midland, TX

How Knox Industries meets Midland

This page is a join. One dimension is contributor city Midland, TX. The other is employer name Knox Industries (stored as KNOX INDUSTRIES). $26,000 is the intersection — dollars on receipts that carry both labels. $82,334,215 is the city bucket before the employer filter, built from 108,952 itemized lines. The harvested donor count inside the intersection is 1 donor, not a census of everyone in Midland who ever worked in a related trade.

LobbyVault does not add a third table and does not route these dollars through USAspending. A Form 3 itemization is not a federal award. Open the Midland, TX city hub for the unfiltered city book, the Knox Industries industry hub for the grouping outside this city filter, Texas campaign finance for the state roll-up, and All FEC ties for sibling joins. Each of those pages answers a different question. This one answers only the intersection.

One harvested donor produced 10 receipts totaling $26,000. Repeat gifts add lines without adding people. Treat 1 as a headcount in this extract, not as proof that a single household “is” Knox Industries in Midland. Arithmetic mean per receipt is about $2,600; per donor it equals the join total because the denominator is one. Those means are division of packet facts, not typical salaries and not medians.

What the Midland city book holds

Midland indexes $82,334,215 ($82.3 million rounded) on 108,952 itemized individual contributions. City labels are filer-entered. A suburb that types a different city never enters $82,334,215. Joint-fundraising and committee addresses that happen to list Midland can sit in the same bucket as residents. The packet does not publish a unique-donor count for the city as a whole, so this page does not invent one from 108,952.

Texas campaign-finance pages cover the state, which is a larger geography than Midland. Do not treat $82,334,215 as the TX state total. Unitemized federal gifts never carry a published city in this roll-up, so they never enter $82,334,215. State-office campaigns in Texas file under state law and sit outside these FEC individual-contribution aggregates. Midland, TX is not Dallas or Houston on this tape. Nearby Permian cities that typed a different city never enter $82,334,215.

The Knox Industries slice inside Midland

Inside Midland, receipts tagged Knox Industries total $26,000 on 10 lines from 1 donor. That is under 0.1% of $82,334,215. About $2,600 per receipt is $26,000 divided by 10. About $26,000 per harvested donor is $26,000 divided by 1. Those ratios describe shape. They are not medians, not typical household gifts, and not salaries.

Knox Industries is a filer-entered employer string, not a NAICS sector and not every affiliate, predecessor name, or related partnership. Other spellings of the same organization are other keys and are omitted from $26,000. A donor in Midland who stored a different employer never enters this join. A donor outside Midland who stored KNOX INDUSTRIES belongs on the industry hub, not here.

Repeat gifts, household pairs, and spelling variants of Knox Industries that did not match this key never enter $26,000. Repeat gifts that did match add to 10 without necessarily adding to 1. Keep line count and donor count attached to their nouns when citing Midland.

What this join is not

It is not a ranking of Midland neighborhoods. It is not a safety comparison. It is not proof that Knox Industries money funded a federal contract, grant, or loan. Campaign contributions and USAspending awards are different disclosure systems even when they mention the same city. This packet has no award dollars, so this page prints none.

It is not Knox Industries nationwide unless the industry hub — a different page — is cited separately, and this packet does not harvest that nationwide integer. It is not a PAC independent-expenditure total. Motive is not a field. Party split is not a field in this packet. Missing fields stay missing.

under 0.1% is $26,000 divided by $82,334,215. Rounding the city total to $82.3 million does not create a second extract. Use $82,334,215 in a table. Use $82.3 million only as a headline form of the same integer. Correlation is not causation: two filer-entered fields meeting is not evidence that Knox Industries “controls” Midland politics.

How to cite the Midland × Knox Industries facts

Citation template: employer name Knox Industries, contributor city Midland, TX, $26,000 on 10 itemized individual contributions from 1 donor, against a city-wide $82,334,215 on 108,952 contributions (under 0.1% of city dollars). Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. City labels are filer-entered.

Then send the reader to the live Midland, TX hub, the Knox Industries industry page, Texas campaign finance, and All FEC ties. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live hubs control. Do not add $26,000 to $82,334,215; the first number is already inside the second.

Using the Midland and Knox Industries hubs together

The Midland, TX hub is the unfiltered city index: $82,334,215 on 108,952 lines. The Knox Industries hub is the grouping without this city’s filter; this packet does not print that nationwide integer, so do not guess it from $26,000. Texas campaign finance is the state roll-up, a larger geography than Midland. All FEC ties is the inventory of other two-table pages. Use all four links. None of them turns $26,000 into a federal award.

If you need names, open the live city and industry hubs rather than reverse-engineering 1 donor from this snapshot. If you need cycle cuts of Midland, those are city-cycle joins, not this file. If you need Knox Industries in a single even-year window, those are industry-cycle joins. This file stays on one city and one employer string: Midland and Knox Industries, $26,000, 10 receipts, 1 donor.
