This URL is a relationship page. Section one states the relationship. Later sections unpack the city side, the cycle side, the share, and the caveats. It is not a restatement of Texas campaign finance, which still mixes Ft Worth with every other TX city and 2014 with every other cycle.

The stored city is FT WORTH, not FORT WORTH. Those two strings are separate city pages in this extract. A midterm cycle tag on 2014 does not explain $185,644. Unitemized gifts are omitted. PAC-to-PAC transfers are omitted. Independent expenditures are omitted. Source: FEC.gov.

FT WORTH across cycles in Texas

Ft Worth, TX's all-cycle total of $16,004,978 is the parent set. 2014's $185,644 is a subset. 1.2% names that subset as a share of the parent. $15,819,334 names the complement inside the same city label. Texas is the state of the contributor address, not a claim about Texas elections.

Use the city hub when the year does not matter. Use this tie when both the city and 2014 matter. The stored city is FT WORTH, not FORT WORTH. Those two strings are separate city pages in this extract. Do not fold neighboring city pages into FT WORTH. Each string is its own key.

Cycle 2014 is not the national 2014 hub

The cycle dimension is the FEC even-year tag 2014 (midterm). Combined with Ft Worth, TX, it yields $185,644 and 95 itemized contributions. The national 2014 page still has every other city. This page has one city. Keep both nouns when citing: Ft Worth and 2014.

About $1,954 per itemized row is $185,644 divided by 95. No median is in the packet. No unique-donor count is in the packet. No party split is in the packet. Those omissions are intentional: the facts do not include them.

This URL (/ties/tx-ft-worth-2014-donations/) is only the Ft Worth × 2014 intersection. The city hub still mixes every cycle into $16,004,978. The 2014 hub still mixes every donor city. Do not treat either hub as $185,644.

Dollar share is not row share

Inside Ft Worth, TX, 2014 holds $185,644 and other cycles hold $15,819,334. The city total is the sum: $16,004,978. 1.2% names the 2014 piece. 95 names the 2014 file size. Mean about $1,954 names $185,644/95. Four numbers, four jobs.

If a later FEC extract revises $185,644 or $16,004,978, the live hubs control. This prose is a snapshot of the packet facts. Amended reports can move either side of the join.

Recompute the share from the raw integers: 185,644 divided by 16,004,978 is 1.2%. The complement 15,819,334 is $15,819,334, which is 98.8% of the FT WORTH city book. Those identities do not use the row count 95.

Means, medians, and missing fields

Dollars ($185,644), rows (95), city total ($16,004,978), remainder ($15,819,334), share (1.2%), mean ($1,954): those are the numeric claims. Dates in the packet are the cycle year 2014 only. No other dollar, count, or URL is used. Internal links stay on the four hrefs in the packet.

Amended FEC reports can change $185,644 after this snapshot. If the live Ft Worth, TX hub or the live 2014 cycle hub disagrees with this prose, the newer FEC extract controls. This file is not a third disclosure system.

95 rows at about $1,954 each reconstruct $185,644 only as an average of rows. Changing 95 without changing $185,644 would change the mean; this extract holds both numbers fixed. 2014 remains a midterm FEC window.

Public records, not accusations

Do not convert $185,644 into a statement about how Ft Worth voted in 2014. Itemized individual contributions are a filing stream. Most residents never appear in it. 95 rows are the itemized file, not the electorate. 1.2% of the city book is not 1.2% of Texas.
