Is $1.9 billion the amount Arizona candidates raised in 2010?

No. $1,854,998,616.07 is the national 2010 candidate-receipt total. Arizona's office-state total in that cycle is $51,763,810.17. Other office states hold $1,803,234,805.90. Use the 2010 cycle hub for the U.S. figure and this tie page for the Arizona slice only. Independent expenditures are omitted from both totals as shown here.

Does office state AZ mean the donors lived in Arizona?

No. Office state is the state of the federal seat on the candidate record. Donors can live anywhere. This join does not allocate the $51,763,810.17 by donor state, employer, or party. An AZ office-state code is not a map of Arizona residents and is not a map of where the money was spent.

How many Arizona candidates are in the 2010 file?

61 candidate records sum to $51,763,810.17. That count is candidates, not unique donors. The arithmetic mean is about $848,587 per candidate. Independent expenditures are not included. Unique-donor counts are not in these facts and are not invented here.

This URL is a relationship page. Section one states the relationship. Later sections unpack the Arizona side, the 2010 side, the share, and the caveats. It is not a restatement of Arizona campaign finance across years, and it is not a restatement of the 2010 cycle across states.

Arizona (AZ) is the FEC office-state code. Nevada, New Mexico, and California office states are not merged into AZ. A midterm cycle tag on 2010 does not explain $51.8 million. Independent expenditures are omitted. PAC-to-PAC transfers as a separate table are omitted. Federal spending awards are omitted. Source: FEC.gov.

Office state AZ is not donor geography

Arizona's 2010 total of $51,763,810.17 is the state slice. The national parent set is $1,854,998,616.07. 2.8% names the slice as a share of the parent. $1,803,234,805.90 names the complement inside the same cycle. AZ is the office state of the candidate, not a claim about Arizona elections for governor or legislature.

Use the state hub when the year does not matter. Use this tie when both Arizona and 2010 matter. Arizona (AZ) is the FEC office-state code. Nevada, New Mexico, and California office states are not merged into AZ. Do not fold neighboring states into AZ. Each office-state code is its own key.

Cycle 2010 is not the Arizona hub

The cycle dimension is the FEC even-year tag 2010 (midterm). Combined with Arizona, it yields $51,763,810.17 and 61 candidates. The national 2010 page still has every other office state. This page has one office state. Keep both nouns when citing: Arizona and 2010.

About $847,031 per U.S. candidate is $1,854,998,616.07 divided by 2190. No median is in the packet. No party split is in the packet. No Senate-only or House-only subtotal is in the packet. Those omissions are intentional: the facts do not include them.

Dollar share is not candidate-count share

Inside cycle 2010, Arizona holds $51,763,810.17 and other office states hold $1,803,234,805.90. The cycle total is the sum: $1,854,998,616.07. 2.8% names the Arizona piece. 61 names the Arizona candidate file size. Mean about $848,587 names $51,763,810.17/61. Four numbers, four jobs.

If a later FEC extract revises $51,763,810.17 or $1,854,998,616.07, the live hubs control. This prose is a snapshot of the packet facts. Amended candidate reports can move either side of the join.

Means, medians, and missing splits

Dollars ($51,763,810.17), candidates (61), cycle total ($1,854,998,616.07), remainder ($1,803,234,805.90), share (2.8%), Arizona mean ($848,587), U.S. mean ($847,031): those are the numeric claims. Dates in the packet are the cycle year 2010 only. No other dollar, count, or URL is used. Internal links stay on the four hrefs in the packet.

Amended FEC reports can change $51,763,810.17 after this snapshot. If the live Arizona hub or the live 2010 cycle hub disagrees with this prose, the newer FEC extract controls. This file is not a third disclosure system.

Public records, not accusations

Do not convert $51,763,810.17 into a statement about how Arizona voted in 2010. Candidate receipts are a filing stream. Most residents never appear as candidates. 61 records are the candidate file, not the electorate. 2.8% of the national cycle is not 2.8% of Arizona.

Arizona in 2010 can be cited in one sentence without losing the join: office-state candidates in AZ reported $51,763,810.17 on a file of 61 candidates, inside a national 2010 candidate-receipt total of $1,854,998,616.07 from 2190 candidates, for a dollar share of 2.8%. That sentence uses every packet dollar column once. A second sentence can add the complement $1,803,234,805.90 and the two means, $848,587 in Arizona and $847,031 nationwide, as long as each mean keeps its own denominator. A third sentence should repeat the omissions: no donor names, no independent expenditures, no USAspending awards, no party split, no Senate-versus-House split. Arizona (AZ) is the FEC office-state code. Nevada, New Mexico, and California office states are not merged into AZ. The 2010 cycle is a closed even-year window in this extract; $51,763,810.17 is the stored Arizona office-state total for that window. Those three sentences are still the same join. They are not a restatement of the Arizona hub and they are not a restatement of the 2010 hub. Researchers who need named candidates must leave this URL for the live hubs. Researchers who need donor geography must leave for a donor join. This file stays on cycle 2010 and office state AZ.
