Oil Producer political contributions from Denver, CO

$16,450 at the Oil Producer / Denver intersection

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates place $16,450 at the intersection of city DENVER, CO and occupation/employer grouping OIL PRODUCER. 21 itemized receipts and 7 donors produced that total. Denver's unfiltered itemized book is $238,927,176 across 599,360 contributions, so the overlap is under 0.1% of city dollars.

LobbyVault publishes the city hub, the industry hub, and this join as three different pages. Mixing them collapses the filter. A reader who wants all of Denver should open the city hub. A reader who wants Oil Producer in every city should open the industry hub. A reader who wants both filters should stay here.

About $783 per receipt and about $2,350 per donor are $16,450 divided by 21 and 7. They are not typical household contributions. They are not wages. They are not medians.

Denver geography on the contribution tape

The city field is filer-entered as DENVER. Colorado is the state. $238,927,176 ($238.9 million) is the city-wide itemized sum. 599,360 is the line count, not unique donors for the whole city. Suburbs with other city strings are excluded. PAC and joint-fundraising addresses that typed Denver can be included.

Do not treat $238,927,176 as the Colorado total. Do not add $16,450 on top of $238,927,176. State-office filings and unitemized federal gifts remain outside both figures.

Oil Producer as an exact stored string

OIL PRODUCER matches only that spelling. Oil Producer is the title form of the same key. Parent companies, d/b/a lines, and occupation titles that differ by a word are omitted from $16,450. 7 donors and 21 receipts follow the exact-match rule.

Donors outside Denver who stored OIL PRODUCER belong on the industry page. They are not in $16,450. All FEC ties lists other cities paired with other strings so this page is not mistaken for a national roll-up.

Keep the geography ladder straight: Denver is one city key; Colorado is the state roll-up; the United States is not a number in this packet. $16,450 does not climb that ladder. $238,927,176 does not climb it either. Adding $16,450 to other cities to invent a metro is outside the packet. Adding $16,450 to USAspending awards in CO is outside the packet.

Cross-dataset caution

USAspending awards in Colorado are a different statute. This packet has no award dollars. Do not claim Oil Producer donations funded federal spending in Denver. Independent expenditures are also out of scope. Party and committee fields were not harvested in this packet.

Correlation is not causation. Two labels on the same receipt do not prove influence. If hubs later show different integers, the newer FEC extract controls. This snapshot is not a third official file.

Donor count 7 is harvested for the join only. The packet does not publish unique donors for all of Denver, so 599,360 must not be called a donor census. Contribution count 21 is harvested for the join only. Repeat gifts are why 21 and 7 can differ. Mean about $783 per receipt and mean about $2,350 per donor stay labeled as division.

Authorized internal links

Href /cities/co-denver/ is Denver, CO. Href /industries/oil-producer/ is Oil Producer. Href /states/CO/ is Colorado campaign finance. Href /ties/ is All FEC ties. Use every one. Do not add absolute URLs this packet did not list.

Cite Oil Producer and Denver, CO together with $16,450, 21 receipts, and 7 donors. That is the full join this extract published.

Record-keeping note

Source note copied from the packet: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by donor city and employer/industry grouping. City labels are filer-entered. Share of city dollars: under 0.1% ($16,450 of $238,927,176). City line count: 599,360.

Cycle windows are other joins. This page stays on one city and one employer string. Do not add $16,450 to $238,927,176.

Public-record voice: no sides, no motive, no advice. FEC.gov is the filing home. LobbyVault is an index of aggregates. If a later load revises $16,450, 21, 7, $238,927,176, or 599,360, the live hub and FEC.gov control. This JSON does not freeze the Commission’s database.

Questions

What did Oil Producer filers in Denver, CO report?

$16,450 in itemized individual contributions across 21 receipts from 7 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates indexed here. The city-wide book is $238,927,176 on 599,360 contributions. This page is the join, not either hub alone.

Does the Oil Producer industry hub equal $16,450?

Only if every OIL PRODUCER row nationwide were in Denver, which this packet does not claim. $16,450 is the Denver, CO slice. The industry hub is the string without that city filter. Use both pages instead of equating them.

What does 599,360 measure on the Denver hub?

Itemized contribution lines storing city DENVER, not unique donors for the whole city. Unique-donor counts in this packet apply to the join (7), not to the city book. Do not divide $238,927,176 by 599,360 and call it a typical Denver gift without noting it is arithmetic only.

Can $16,450 be added to USAspending totals for Denver?

No. Campaign receipts and federal awards are different statutes. This packet has no obligation dollars. $16,450 stays on the FEC side. Sharing a city label does not fund an award.
