Oregon candidate receipts in the 2008 cycle

Oregon (OR) office-state receipts in cycle 2008

Two filters are true at once: election cycle 2008, and office state OR (Oregon). Only rows that match both produce $26,367,480.46 from 21 candidates. The 2008 election-cycle hub still mixes every office state and therefore shows $3,257,217,142.47. The Oregon campaign-finance hub still mixes every cycle. $26,367,480.46 lives only at the intersection. A restatement of 2008 would still mix states. A restatement of Oregon 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 Oregon office-state candidate can come from any state. Oregon’s office-state code is OR. Portland as a donor city would be another join. 2008 is a presidential two-year FEC cycle. Ballot-administration methods do not change how {sr} is summed. This join does not list donors, does not name candidates, and does not allocate $26,367,480.46 by House, Senate, or presidential line.

Twenty-one Oregon office-state candidates produced $26,367,480.46. Mean receipts are about $1,255,594.31 per candidate. A shorter roster is still not a list of names. The national 2008 tally is 1,638 candidates. Oregon’s candidate count is 1.28% of the national candidate count, while its receipts are 0.81% of $3,257,217,142.47. Those two shares are not required to match. Mean receipts in the cell are about $1,255,594.31 per candidate ($26,367,480.46 ÷ 21). The national mean is about $1,988,533.05 ($3,257,217,142.47 ÷ 1,638). Means are arithmetic. They are not medians.

Oregon’s $26,367,480.46 is the smaller 2008 cell in this slice

$26,367,480.46 is Oregon candidate receipts inside cycle 2008 only. It is not Oregon’s lifetime total across cycles, and it is not itemized individual giving by Oregon residents. Donor-city and occupation tables are other joins. Citing $3,257,217,142.47 as a Oregon figure mixes the national cycle hub into this cell. Citing $26,367,480.46 as the 2008 national total mixes the cell into the cycle hub.

21 is the candidate count attached to office state OR 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 Primary challengers, withdrawn filings, and general-election nominees can all sit in an FEC candidate count; this page does not split them.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 Oregon 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.

Still $3,257,217,142.47 on the national 2008 line

$3,257,217,142.47 is the national 2008 candidate-receipt total across 1,638 candidates. Subtracting the Oregon cell leaves $3,230,849,662.01 in other office states. 0.81% is a dollar share of the national cycle, not a share of Electoral College votes, House seats, or population. 1.28% 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 $26,367,480.46 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.

Twenty-one Oregon candidates against 1,638 nationally

$26,367,480.46 ÷ $3,257,217,142.47 = 0.81%. $3,230,849,662.01 ÷ $3,257,217,142.47 = 99.19%. 21 ÷ 1,638 = 1.28%. Those identities use packet facts only. They are not voter shares and not proof that Oregon ‘won’ or ‘lost’ a money race. Do not add $26,367,480.46 to $3,257,217,142.47.

Keep the labels glued to the numbers. $26,367,480.46 always travels with Oregon, OR, 2008, and 21 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.

Vote-by-mail is not a receipt field

This page does not rank Oregon 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. A smaller state cell is not a ranking against California or New York. Those other states have their own packets. This file only certifies Oregon 2008.

Do not claim $26,367,480.46 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.
