How Oil Producer meets Wichita
This page is a join. One dimension is contributor city Wichita, KS. The other is employer or industry grouping Oil Producer. $61,050 is the intersection — dollars on receipts that carry both labels. $115,332,696 is the city bucket before the employer filter, built from 210,063 itemized lines. The harvested donor count inside the intersection is 22 donors, not a census of everyone in Wichita who ever worked in that 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 Wichita, KS city hub for the unfiltered city book, the Oil Producer industry hub for the grouping outside this city filter, Kansas 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.
What the Wichita city book holds
Wichita indexes $115,332,696 ($115.3 million rounded) on 210,063 itemized individual contributions. City labels are filer-entered. A suburb that types a different city never enters $115,332,696. Joint-fundraising and committee addresses that happen to list Wichita 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 210,063.
Kansas campaign-finance pages cover the state, which is a larger geography than Wichita. Do not treat $115,332,696 as the KS state total. Unitemized federal gifts never carry a published city in this roll-up, so they never enter $115,332,696. State-office campaigns in Kansas file under state law and sit outside these FEC individual-contribution aggregates.
The Oil Producer slice inside Wichita
Inside Wichita, receipts tagged Oil Producer total $61,050 on 52 lines from 22 donors. That is 0.05% of $115,332,696. About $1,174 per receipt is $61,050 divided by 52. About $2,775 per harvested donor is $61,050 divided by 22. Those ratios describe shape. They are not medians, not typical household gifts, and not salaries.
Oil Producer is the employer or occupation text on the receipt, not a well-count, not a barrel total, and not Kansas Corporation Commission production. Twenty-two donors and 52 receipts produced $61,050 inside Wichita’s $115,332,696 city aggregate. Energy folklore about the Mid-Continent field does not belong in a sentence that only has those FEC integers.
Repeat gifts, household pairs, and spelling variants of Oil Producer that did not match this key never enter $61,050. Repeat gifts that did match add to 52 without necessarily adding to 22. Keep line count and donor count attached to their nouns when citing Wichita.
What this join is not
It is not a ranking of Wichita neighborhoods. It is not a safety comparison. It is not proof that Oil Producer 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 Oil Producer 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.
0.05% is $61,050 divided by $115,332,696. Rounding the city total to $115.3 million does not create a second extract. Use $115,332,696 in a table. Use $115.3 million only as a headline form of the same integer.
How to cite the Wichita × Oil Producer facts
Citation template: employer/industry grouping Oil Producer, contributor city Wichita, KS, $61,050 on 52 itemized individual contributions from 22 donors, against a city-wide $115,332,696 on 210,063 contributions (0.05% of city dollars). Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. City labels are filer-entered.
Then send the reader to the live Wichita, KS hub, the Oil Producer industry page, Kansas 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 $61,050 to $115,332,696; the first number is already inside the second.
Researchers comparing Wichita to other cities must open those other city hubs. This packet has no second city. Ranking Wichita as more political because $115,332,696 is large would ignore population, filing practices, and committee addresses. This page will not rank it.
Using the Wichita and Oil Producer hubs together
The Wichita, KS hub is the unfiltered city index: $115,332,696 on 210,063 lines. The Oil Producer hub is the grouping without this city’s filter; this packet does not print that nationwide integer, so do not guess it from $61,050. Kansas campaign finance is the state roll-up, a larger geography than Wichita. All FEC ties is the inventory of other two-table pages. Use all four links. None of them turns $61,050 into a federal award.
If you need names, open the live city and industry hubs rather than reverse-engineering 22 donors from this snapshot. If you need cycle cuts of Wichita, those are city-cycle joins, not this file. If you need Oil Producer in a single even-year window, those are industry-cycle joins. This file stays on one city and one employer string: Wichita and Oil Producer, $61,050, 52 receipts, 22 donors.
