Oil Producer political contributions from Abilene, TX

$15,817 at the Oil Producer / Abilene intersection

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates place $15,817 at the intersection of city ABILENE, TX and occupation/employer grouping OIL PRODUCER. 14 itemized receipts and 8 donors produced that total. Abilene's unfiltered itemized book is $17,994,025 across 40,309 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 Abilene 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 $1,130 per receipt and about $1,977 per donor are $15,817 divided by 14 and 8. They are not typical household contributions. They are not wages. They are not medians.

Abilene geography on the contribution tape

The city field is filer-entered as ABILENE. Texas is the state. $17,994,025 ($18.0 million) is the city-wide itemized sum. 40,309 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 Abilene can be included.

Do not treat $17,994,025 as the Texas total. Do not add $15,817 on top of $17,994,025. 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 $15,817. 8 donors and 14 receipts follow the exact-match rule.

Donors outside Abilene who stored OIL PRODUCER belong on the industry page. They are not in $15,817. 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: Abilene is one city key; Texas is the state roll-up; the United States is not a number in this packet. $15,817 does not climb that ladder. $17,994,025 does not climb it either. Adding $15,817 to other cities to invent a metro is outside the packet. Adding $15,817 to USAspending awards in TX is outside the packet.

Cross-dataset caution

USAspending awards in Texas are a different statute. This packet has no award dollars. Do not claim Oil Producer donations funded federal spending in Abilene. 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 8 is harvested for the join only. The packet does not publish unique donors for all of Abilene, so 40,309 must not be called a donor census. Contribution count 14 is harvested for the join only. Repeat gifts are why 14 and 8 can differ. Mean about $1,130 per receipt and mean about $1,977 per donor stay labeled as division.

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% ($15,817 of $17,994,025). City line count: 40,309.

Cycle windows are other joins. This page stays on one city and one employer string. Do not add $15,817 to $17,994,025.

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 $15,817, 14, 8, $17,994,025, or 40,309, the live hub and FEC.gov control. This JSON does not freeze the Commission’s database.

Questions

What did Oil Producer filers in Abilene, TX report?

$15,817 in itemized individual contributions across 14 receipts from 8 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates indexed here. The city-wide book is $17,994,025 on 40,309 contributions. This page is the join, not either hub alone.

Does the Oil Producer industry hub equal $15,817?

Only if every OIL PRODUCER row nationwide were in Abilene, which this packet does not claim. $15,817 is the Abilene, TX slice. The industry hub is the string without that city filter. Use both pages instead of equating them.

What does 40,309 measure on the Abilene hub?

Itemized contribution lines storing city ABILENE, not unique donors for the whole city. Unique-donor counts in this packet apply to the join (8), not to the city book. Do not divide $17,994,025 by 40,309 and call it a typical Abilene gift without noting it is arithmetic only.

Can $15,817 be added to USAspending totals for Abilene?

No. Campaign receipts and federal awards are different statutes. This packet has no obligation dollars. $15,817 stays on the FEC side. Sharing a city label does not fund an award.
