New Mexico candidate receipts in the 2008 cycle

New Mexico office state × 2008 candidate receipts

Two filters are true at once: election cycle 2008, and office state NM (New Mexico). Only rows that match both produce $30,291,764.69 from 31 candidates. The 2008 election-cycle hub still mixes every office state and therefore shows $3,257,217,142.47. The New Mexico campaign-finance hub still mixes every cycle. $30,291,764.69 lives only at the intersection. A restatement of 2008 would still mix states. A restatement of New Mexico would still mix years.

Office state is the geography of the federal seat on the FEC candidate master, not the donor’s mailing address. Money raised by a New Mexico office-state candidate can come from any state. New Mexico’s office-state code is NM. Tribal or county geography is not a split in this aggregate. 2008 is a presidential two-year FEC window. Early-caucus calendars are not attached to {sr}. This join does not list donors, does not name candidates, and does not allocate $30,291,764.69 by House, Senate, or presidential line.

Thirty-one New Mexico office-state candidates produced $30,291,764.69. Mean receipts are about $977,153.70 per candidate. The packet does not name them. The national 2008 tally is 1,638 candidates. New Mexico’s candidate count is 1.89% of the national candidate count, while its receipts are 0.93% of $3,257,217,142.47. Those two shares are not required to match. Mean receipts in the cell are about $977,153.70 per candidate ($30,291,764.69 ÷ 31). The national mean is about $1,988,533.05 ($3,257,217,142.47 ÷ 1,638). Means are arithmetic. They are not medians.

New Mexico’s $30,291,764.69 is not a land-grant ledger

$30,291,764.69 is New Mexico candidate receipts inside cycle 2008 only. It is not New Mexico’s lifetime total across cycles, and it is not itemized individual giving by New Mexico residents. Donor-city and occupation tables are other joins. Citing $3,257,217,142.47 as a New Mexico figure mixes the national cycle hub into this cell. Citing $30,291,764.69 as the 2008 national total mixes the cell into the cycle hub.

31 is the candidate count attached to office state NM in 2008. Names are not in the packet and are not invented. Primary challengers, withdrawn filings, and general-election nominees can all sit in an FEC candidate count; this page does not split them. Use the New Mexico state hub without a year for the state overlay; use the 2008 cycle hub without a state for the national overlay; use this URL for the join.

2008 national receipts of $3,257,217,142.47

$3,257,217,142.47 is the national 2008 candidate-receipt total across 1,638 candidates. Subtracting the New Mexico cell leaves $3,226,925,377.78 in other office states. 0.93% is a dollar share of the national cycle, not a share of Electoral College votes, House seats, or population. 1.89% is a candidate-count share only. 2008 is a presidential two-year FEC window in calendar terms; that label does not split $3,257,217,142.47 by office type.

The 2008 cycle page still includes every other state. Independent expenditures, PAC-to-PAC transfers, and unitemized receipts are other FEC tables. They are not mixed into $30,291,764.69 or $3,257,217,142.47. Federal contract and grant amounts live in USAspending, a different dataset. Sharing a calendar year does not turn these receipts into awards.

Thirty-one NM candidates in a presidential book

$30,291,764.69 ÷ $3,257,217,142.47 = 0.93%. $3,226,925,377.78 ÷ $3,257,217,142.47 = 99.07%. 31 ÷ 1,638 = 1.89%. Those identities use packet facts only. They are not voter shares and not proof that New Mexico ‘won’ or ‘lost’ a money race. Do not add $30,291,764.69 to $3,257,217,142.47.

Keep the labels glued to the numbers. $30,291,764.69 always travels with New Mexico, NM, 2008, and 31 candidates. $3,257,217,142.47 always travels with the national 2008 cycle and 1,638 candidates. Source: FEC.gov candidate receipts grouped by election cycle and office state.

Energy-employer strings stay on industry pages

This page does not rank New Mexico against other states, does not score votes, and does not treat receipts as cash on hand. Correlation is not causation. A two-column match is bookkeeping. Candidate names, donor names, and party splits are absent from the facts. Federal lab or energy awards in USAspending are not funded by $30,291,764.69. Campaign receipts and obligations remain different datasets.

Do not claim $30,291,764.69 funded federal awards. Do not add Super PAC independent expenditures to Form 3 candidate receipts. Amended reports can move either total. If live hubs disagree with this extract, the newer FEC file controls.
