Oil Operator political contributions from Amarillo, TX

How Oil Operator meets Amarillo, TX on the FEC tape

$17,500 is the overlap of two filer-entered fields: occupation/employer grouping OIL OPERATOR and contributor city AMARILLO with state TX. LobbyVault keeps an Amarillo, TX city hub and an Oil Operator industry hub. Neither hub is this join. The city hub is all industries in Amarillo. The industry hub is that string across cities. This page is only both filters at once.

6 contributions from 2 donors produced $17,500. Repeat gifts add receipts; 2 donors is the headcount in this extract for the join, not a census of everyone in Amarillo tied to that label. Arithmetic mean per receipt is about $2,917; per donor, about $8,750. Those means are division of packet facts, not typical salaries and not medians.

OIL OPERATOR is an exact employer/industry string on the itemization, not a NAICS sector and not every person who works in a related job. Other spellings, parent-company names, job titles, and blank employer rows are other keys. $17,500 counts only rows that stored this string in Amarillo, TX. City labels are filer-entered.

The Amarillo side of the Oil Operator join

Amarillo, TX's all-industry itemized book in this extract is $36.5 million ($36,548,245) across 105,665 contributions. $17,500 is under 0.1% of that city book. A thin share is expected when the industry key is an exact string: most Amarillo receipts use other employer labels. Do not treat under 0.1% as the sector's weight in Amarillo unless the packet listed a sector roll-up. It lists OIL OPERATOR only.

The stored city sits in Texas. Nearby places that type a different city string never enter $36,548,245. Texas campaign-finance pages include other cities. Do not add $17,500 to the state hub; the state extract already contains these rows when the same tape is used. All FEC ties lists other city-industry pages. None of them converts $17,500 into spending by Amarillo candidates.

The Oil Operator side outside Amarillo

The Oil Operator industry hub is the same stored string in every city, not a Texas-only table. $17,500 is the Amarillo, TX slice of that string. A donor in another city who stored OIL OPERATOR is not in this join. A donor in Amarillo who stored a different employer string is not in this join either. This packet publishes the industry-side dollars for the grouping as $17,500 with 6 contributions and 2 donors.

This packet does not name committees, parties, or cycles for the Oil Operator × Amarillo, TX overlap. Open the live Oil Operator page and the live Amarillo, TX page for those breakdowns if the extract publishes them. This prose stays on $17,500, 6 receipts, 2 donors, and the $36.5 million city book. Quote the join with both nouns in the same sentence so a downstream citation cannot drop a side.

What the Oil Operator × Amarillo dollars omit

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $17,500. Texas state-office filings sit outside it. Independent expenditures are a different FEC file. City labels and industry labels are both filer-entered; LobbyVault does not recode AMARILLO into a Census place or OIL OPERATOR into a standardized occupation. PAC or joint-fundraising addresses that stored this pair of strings follow the same rule as household streets.

Do not read $17,500 as proof that Oil Operator controls Amarillo politics. The join is two fields. Correlation is not causation. If the live hubs disagree with $17,500 or 2 donors, the newer FEC extract controls. This snapshot is not a third disclosure system. Do not treat the 2-donor cluster as a company-town finding or as a count of everyone who ever worked under a related name.

Using Amarillo, TX and Oil Operator links without mixing statutes

Internal links go to Amarillo, TX, Oil Operator, Texas campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. FEC individual contributions are not USAspending awards. This packet has no obligation dollars and no award counts. Do not add $17,500 to federal spending in Texas. Campaign receipts and federal awards are different statutes even when both mention Amarillo.

Researchers citing the join should keep both nouns in the sentence: Oil Operator and Amarillo, TX. Dropping either noun turns this page into a restatement of a hub it is not. $17,500 across 6 receipts from 2 donors is the only overlap this extract published. Do not add $17,500 to $36,548,245; the first number is already inside the second.

How to cite the Amarillo × Oil Operator facts

Citation template: occupation/employer grouping OIL OPERATOR, contributor city Amarillo, TX, $17,500 on 6 itemized individual contributions from 2 donors, against a city-wide $36,548,245 on 105,665 contributions (under 0.1% of city dollars).

Then send the reader to the live Amarillo, TX hub, the Oil Operator 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. If you need cycle cuts of Amarillo, those are city-cycle joins, not this file. If you need Oil Operator in a single even-year window, those are industry-cycle joins. This file stays on one city and one employer string.

Questions

How much did Oil Operator donors in Amarillo, TX give?

Itemized FEC individual contributions storing industry OIL OPERATOR and city AMARILLO total $17,500 across 6 receipts from 2 donors in this extract. That is the join, not Amarillo, TX's all-industry book of $36.5 million. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does Oil Operator in Amarillo include every related job title?

No. OIL OPERATOR is the exact stored string. Other employer spellings are other keys and are omitted from $17,500. 2 donors and 6 receipts follow that exact-match rule. LobbyVault does not map the field to a standardized occupation list.

What share of Amarillo, TX itemized money is Oil Operator?

$17,500 is under 0.1% of the $36.5 million Amarillo, TX city book (105,665 city-field contributions). A thin share usually means other employer strings dominate the city tape, not that the grouping is absent. Quote both dollars. Do not upgrade under 0.1% into a sector ranking.

Do Oil Operator donations in Amarillo fund federal spending there?

No. These figures are FEC individual contributions, not USAspending awards. $17,500 does not become a contract because both rows can mention Amarillo. Different statutes, different forms. This packet has no obligation dollars. Filings remain on FEC.gov.
