Amarillo, TX and the 2012 FEC election cycle

City string AMARILLO filtered to cycle 2012

Amarillo, TX is the geographic side. 2012 is the time side. $140,003 is the money that survives both filters. Volume is 115 lines. Mean line size is about $1,217. None of those numbers name a recipient committee, a candidate, or a donor.

The Texas hub is a statewide rollup and will not match $140,003. The 2012 hub is a nationwide cycle rollup and will not match $140,003. Use those pages for context, then return to this join for the city-year cell. Amarillo is stored as AMARILLO in Texas. Dallas, Houston, and Lubbock are other Texas keys.

Donor-city text as stored for Amarillo, TX

Use the Amarillo, TX city overlay for rows that are not limited to 2012. Use this tie when the question names both Amarillo and 2012. The canonical path for the tie is /ties/tx-amarillo-2012-donations/. The city path in the packet’s internal links is /cities/tx-amarillo/.

Nothing in the city total $36,548,245 identifies a donor. Nothing in the cycle cell $140,003 identifies a donor. Publishing invented names would violate the packet contract. This file lists dollars, counts, and keys only.

Time filter: election cycle 2012

2012 filters the city table down from $36,548,245 to $140,003. That is the time cut. It does not filter by occupation, employer, ZIP, or committee. Those cuts would be other kinds of ties.

The 2012 tag is a two-year FEC election-cycle window (the even year and the odd year paired with it). This packet does not split 2011 from 2012. If you need Amarillo in a different even year, that is a different slug, not a paragraph on this page.

Caveats on Amarillo, TX in 2012

This is not legal advice, not campaign advice, and not a prediction about later cycles. It is an explanation of one FEC aggregate: Amarillo, TX in 2012 at $140,003. The 115 contribution records are the volume. The $36,548,245 city total is the longer running sum. Stop at those facts.

Overlay pages that outrank this JSON

Researchers comparing 2012 to another even year for Amarillo should open the other tie rather than rescale $140,003 by guesswork. No year-over-year rate is in the facts. This file does not compute one. The Texas hub remains the statewide entry; this page remains the Amarillo, TX × 2012 cell.

Snapshot versus live FEC tables

Snapshot date is not in the packet, so none is claimed. Bulk FEC files are periodically restated. When they move, $140,003, 115, and $36,548,245 can move. The live city page /cities/tx-amarillo/ and cycle page /election-cycles/2012/ are the places to check. This article will not invent a retrieval timestamp. Restating without new facts: Amarillo, TX in 2012 is $140,003 from 115 itemized individual contributions on FEC.gov. The city string stores $36,548,245 across cycles, so this window is about 0.38% and other windows hold $36,408,242. Arithmetic mean per line is about $1,217. Unique donors, recipient committees, party split, and USAspending dollars are not in the packet. Live overlays at the city hub, the 2012 hub, and All FEC ties outrank this snapshot if they differ. Keep both join sides in any reuse of $140,003: donor city Amarillo, TX and FEC cycle 2012, sourced from FEC.gov itemized individual receipts. The 115 contribution lines are volume for this cell only and are not added to counts from other Amarillo cycle pages. City lifetime money $36,548,245 already includes the 2012 window; do not add $140,003 to $36,548,245.

Amarillo, TX remains one donor-city string on FEC.gov. Cycle 2012 remains one even-year tag. Together they produce $140,003 from 115 itemized individual contributions. The city key still stores $36,548,245 when every stored cycle is included, so 2012 is about 0.38% of that running total and $36,408,242 sits in other windows. Those other windows are not listed here and are not estimated. Mean line size about $1,217 is $140,003 divided by 115, an arithmetic mean rather than a median.

Questions

How much did Amarillo donors give in 2012?

FEC individual-contribution aggregates assign $140,003 to donor city AMARILLO in TX during cycle 2012. Volume is 115 itemized lines. This is not PAC spending and not a federal award total. Other even-year windows for Amarillo are other pages; they are not mixed into $140,003.

What share of Amarillo FEC money is 2012?

The 2012 window holds $140,003 of $36,548,245 recorded for Amarillo, TX, roughly 0.38%. The 2012 tag is a two-year FEC election-cycle window (the even year and the odd year paired with it). This packet does not split 2011 from 2012. Because the city total already includes 2012, adding the slice to the lifetime total would double-count.

Does this include Dallas or Lubbock donors?

The packet does not merge look-alike city names. Amarillo, TX is one key. Same-name cities in other states are other pages. ZIP codes filed with a different city string are out of $140,003 even if the ZIP sits in Amarillo.

Four packet links cover the overlays: /cities/tx-amarillo/, /election-cycles/2012/, /states/TX/, and /ties/. No additional URLs are authorized. If you need another cycle of Amarillo, that is a different city-cycle slug, not an extra href here. FEC.gov is the source for $140,003, 115 contributions, and the $36,548,245 city total on Amarillo, TX.
