Key figures
- $21,000 from 1 donor and 9 receipts is the Thomas D Coffman Inc × Austin, TX join.

- THOMAS D COFFMAN INC is an exact filer-entered label, not a sector roll-up.
- Means near $2,333 per receipt and $21,000 per donor are arithmetic only.
- If the live hub disagrees, the newer FEC extract controls.
How Thomas D Coffman Inc meets Austin, TX on the FEC tape
$21,000 is the intersection of two stored fields: employer/industry grouping THOMAS D COFFMAN INC and contributor city AUSTIN with state TX. LobbyVault keeps an Austin, TX city hub and a Thomas D Coffman Inc industry hub. Neither hub is this page. The city hub is every industry string in Austin. The industry hub is that employer string in every city. This file keeps both filters on at once.
Nine contributions from 1 donor produced $21,000. Repeat gifts add receipts, so 9 lines do not mean 9 people. One donor is the headcount in this extract for the join, not a census of everyone in Austin who ever used a related company name. Arithmetic mean per receipt is $2,333; per donor, $21,000. Those means are division of packet facts, not typical pay and not medians.
THOMAS D COFFMAN INC is an exact employer string on the itemization. It is not a NAICS sector and not every contractor with a similar personal name. Other spellings, parent-company names, job titles, and blank employer rows are other keys. $21,000 counts only rows that stored this string in Austin, TX.
Austin's all-industry book versus this employer string
Austin, TX's all-industry itemized book in this extract is $242,363,379 across 793,228 contributions. $21,000 is under 0.1% of that city book. A thin share is expected when the industry key is an exact string: most Austin receipts use other employer labels. Do not treat under 0.1% as the sector's weight in Austin unless the packet listed a sector roll-up. It lists THOMAS D COFFMAN INC only.
The stored city sits in Texas. Other Texas city strings are other keys, not addends to $21,000. Texas campaign-finance pages include those other cities. Do not add $21,000 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 $21,000 into spending by Austin candidates.
The Thomas D Coffman Inc side outside Austin
The Thomas D Coffman Inc industry hub is the same stored string in every city, not a Texas-only table. $21,000 is the Austin, TX slice published for this pair. A donor in another city who stored THOMAS D COFFMAN INC is not in this join. A donor in Austin who stored a different employer string is not in this join either. This packet publishes $21,000 with 9 contributions and 1 donor for the overlap.
This packet does not name committees, parties, or cycles for the Thomas D Coffman Inc × Austin, TX overlap. Open the live Thomas D Coffman Inc page and the live Austin, TX page for those breakdowns if the extract publishes them. This prose stays on $21,000, 9 receipts, 1 donor, and the $242,363,379 city book. Quote the join with both nouns in the same sentence so a downstream citation cannot drop a side.
What the Austin × Thomas D Coffman Inc dollars omit
Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $21,000. 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 AUSTIN into a Census place or THOMAS D COFFMAN INC 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 $21,000 as proof that Thomas D Coffman Inc controls Austin politics. The join is two fields. Correlation is not causation. If the live hubs disagree with $21,000 or 1 donor, the newer FEC extract controls. This snapshot is not a third disclosure system. Do not treat the one-donor cluster as a company-town finding.
Using Austin, TX and Thomas D Coffman Inc links without mixing statutes
Internal links go to Austin, TX, Thomas D Coffman Inc, 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 $21,000 to federal spending in Texas. Campaign receipts and federal awards are different statutes even when both mention Austin.
Researchers citing the join should keep both nouns in the sentence: Thomas D Coffman Inc and Austin, TX. Dropping either noun turns this page into a restatement of a hub it is not. $21,000 across 9 receipts from 1 donor is the only overlap this extract published. Do not add $21,000 to $242,363,379; the first number is already inside the second.
