Donors in Odessa, TX to NEW REPUBLICAN PAC

How Odessa, TX meets New Republican PAC on the FEC tape

$10,000,000 is the overlap of two keys: contributor city ODESSA with state TX, and recipient committee C00544544 disclosed as NEW REPUBLICAN PAC. LobbyVault keeps a Odessa, TX city hub and a committee hub for New Republican PAC. Neither hub is this join. The city hub is every committee that received itemized gifts storing this city string. The committee hub is every city that gave to C00544544. This page is only both filters at once.

NEW REPUBLICAN PAC is the stored name on C00544544. The join does not name unique donors, contribution counts, or cycles. Do not invent a headcount from $10,000,000. Repeat gifts, joint fundraising, and conduit memo entries can sit inside a city×committee total without this packet splitting them.

City labels are filer-entered. ODESSA is the stored string, not a Census place recode and not a metro-area roll-up. A donor who stored a neighboring city is on another hub. A donor who stored ODESSA and a different committee ID is in the leftover $22,434,662 of the city book, not in $10,000,000.

The Odessa, TX side of the New Republican PAC join

Odessa, TX’s all-committee itemized book in this extract is $32,434,662. $10,000,000 is 30.8% of Odessa, TX’s $32,434,662 all-committee book — a large slice of the stored city string, still only the rows whose recipient is C00544544. The leftover $22,434,662 went to other committees under the same city string, or sits outside this recipient filter. Open the Odessa, TX hub for that remainder; do not subtract by hand from a different extract.

The stored city sits in Texas. Neighboring municipalities are not absorbed into ODESSA. Texas campaign-finance pages include other cities. Do not add $10,000,000 to the state hub; the state extract already contains these rows when the same tape is used. All FEC ties lists other city-committee pages. None of them converts $10,000,000 into spending by Odessa, TX candidates or into independent expenditures by New Republican PAC.

NEW REPUBLICAN PAC (C00544544) as the recipient key

C00544544 is disclosed as NEW REPUBLICAN PAC. This page does not list independent expenditures the committee made, operating expenditures it paid, or earmark destinations beyond the labeled recipient. $10,000,000 is itemized individual receipts storing city ODESSA and committee C00544544. Other cities giving to New Republican PAC appear on the committee hub. Adding them here would break the city filter.

Quote the committee with its FEC ID so a similarly named filing is not swapped in. New Republican PAC on another ID is a different page. This URL is Odessa, TX × C00544544, not Texas × C00544544 and not every spelling of ODESSA. If the overlay at the committee path disagrees with $10,000,000, the overlay and FEC.gov control.

Share of the Odessa, TX book

30.8% of $32,434,662 is $10,000,000 to NEW REPUBLICAN PAC (C00544544). That percentage describes overlap of two FEC groupings, not a finding that residents of Odessa, TX as a group preferred this committee. Most of the $32,434,662 city book went to other committees unless 30.8% is read as a large slice — even then, the slice is still only the C00544544 filter.

The leftover $22,434,662 under the ODESSA city string went to other committees. The Odessa, TX hub holds that remainder. The New Republican PAC page holds receipts whose city field did not store ODESSA. Do not stack this cell with another city’s gifts to C00544544; each join is its own filter.

What the Odessa, TX × New Republican PAC dollars omit

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $10,000,000. Texas state-office filings sit outside it. Independent expenditures are a different FEC file; the source note on this packet says these aggregates are not independent expenditures. City labels are filer-entered. PAC or joint-fundraising addresses that stored this city string follow the same rule as household streets.

Do not read $10,000,000 as proof that Odessa, TX “funded” New Republican PAC as a municipal act, or that the committee spent the money in Texas. The join is two fields. Correlation is not causation. FEC individual contributions are not USAspending awards. This packet has no obligation dollars and no award counts. Do not add $10,000,000 to federal spending in Texas.

Contribution lines can cluster in a few ZIPs or spread across many. This packet does not list those ZIPs or a donor headcount. Open the city hub and the committee hub rather than guessing a postal split from the city string alone.

How to cite the Odessa, TX × New Republican PAC join

Internal links go to Odessa, TX, NEW REPUBLICAN PAC, Texas campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. The city page holds the $32,434,662 book and the committees that received the leftover $22,434,662. The committee page holds C00544544 receipts from every city. All FEC ties collects neighboring pairs without mixing independent expenditures into this cell.

Researchers citing the join should keep both nouns in the sentence: Odessa, TX and NEW REPUBLICAN PAC (C00544544). Dropping either noun turns this page into a restatement of a hub it is not. $10,000,000 is the only overlap this extract published. A later amendment wave can move a dollar without this file rewriting itself. Treat the live LobbyVault hub as newer than this packet snapshot.

Cite $10,000,000, $32,434,662, 30.8%, leftover $22,434,662, and C00544544. Keep both sides named: ODESSA as filer-entered city, NEW REPUBLICAN PAC as recipient. Motive is outside the packet. Unitemized gifts never appear. Live hubs override this snapshot. If the overlay disagrees, the overlay and FEC.gov control.

Questions

How much did Odessa, TX donors give New Republican PAC?

Itemized FEC individual contributions storing city ODESSA and recipient NEW REPUBLICAN PAC (C00544544) total $10,000,000 in this extract. That is the join, not Odessa, TX’s all-committee book of $32,434,662. These figures are not independent expenditures. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the Odessa, TX total include every spelling of the city name?

No. ODESSA is the exact stored city string with state TX. Other spellings, abbreviations, and neighboring places are other keys and are omitted from $10,000,000. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a Census place. Use the Odessa, TX hub for the all-committee book of $32,434,662.

What share of Odessa, TX itemized money went to New Republican PAC?

$10,000,000 is 30.8% of the $32,434,662 Odessa, TX city book. The leftover $22,434,662 went to other committees under the same city string. Quote both dollars and the committee ID C00544544. Do not upgrade 30.8% into a ranking of civic preference.

Are the Odessa, TX New Republican PAC figures from FEC.gov?

Yes. The numbers are FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $10,000,000 for the Odessa, TX × C00544544 join and $32,434,662 for the city string. If a later extract or the committee overlay disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
