How much did ZIP 79702 show in FEC itemized totals?

Receipts listing 79702 total $14,116,523 across 10,098 contributions. Those figures are FEC disclosure aggregates for the five-digit contributor ZIP. They are not a unique-donor census of Midland and not the Texas Ethics Commission campaign totals.

Does 10,098 contributions mean 10,098 people donated?

No. The figure counts itemized receipts. One person can appear many times. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this page does not invent one. See names on the ZIP 79702 FEC page. Repeat gifts and memo entries add rows without adding new people.

Does ZIP 79702 include Texas state races?

No. This extract is federal FEC itemizations. Texas Ethics Commission filings sit outside $14,116,523. Unitemized federal gifts are also out. Use the ZIP 79702 FEC page for the federal table. The packet facts stop at $14,116,523 and the contribution count. Named payees, dates, and employer strings live on the ZIP 79702 FEC page, not in this summary.

Where can I see 79702 itemizations?

On the ZIP 79702 FEC page. Compare codes on the all-ZIP index and search names in the donor directory. Original filings are on FEC.gov. This guide quotes only the harvested packet facts: $14,116,523, 10,098 contributions, and the five-digit contributor ZIP.

Midland 79702’s $14,116,523 file

$14,116,523 is a sum of disclosed federal contribution lines that carried 79702 in the ZIP field. Federal committees anywhere in the country can receive that money. The Texas Ethics Commission filings and local municipal races generally sit outside this extract. Unitemized gifts never enter the total. Quote $14.1M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure, not as a census of what every household in Midland spent.

Ten thousand ninety-eight rows is a thin file among ZIPs near $14 million. Thinner files often make large committee lines easier to spot when sorted by amount. This page will not treat a short list as proof that one payer dominates. This aggregate does not name the mix of individuals and committee traffic that share 79702.

No party share, cycle series, or unique-person census is attached to $14,116,523. LobbyVault does not recode the ZIP field into the Permian Basin political score. Readers who want named payees, dates, or employer strings should open the live hub rather than infer a story from the line count alone. The supported facts in this packet are the dollar total, the contribution count, FEC as source, and the five-digit ZIP definition.

10,098 rows on a short 79702 file

The extract lists 10,098 contributions for 79702. That is a receipt count, not a unique-person census. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this guide does not invent how many people sit behind Midland filings. A file this short at $14.1M usually makes large committee lines easier to spot when the hub is sorted by amount. Repeat gifts and memo entries still add rows, even when the list is thin.

Do not treat 10,098 as a headcount of the Permian Basin residents. One filer can appear many times. This page will not publish an average as if the FEC printed one. If a handful of committee lines account for a visible share of $14,116,523, the committee column on the hub will show it. If the total is many individual names on a short list, that will show too.
