Michigan (MI) office-state receipts inside 2010
Two filters are true at once: election cycle 2010, and office state MI (Michigan). Only rows that match both produce $39,040,739.93 from 63 candidates. The 2010 election-cycle hub still mixes every office state and therefore shows $1,854,998,616.07. The Michigan campaign-finance hub still mixes every cycle. $39,040,739.93 lives only at the intersection. A restatement of 2010 would still mix states. A restatement of Michigan 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 Michigan office-state candidate can come from any state. Michigan’s office-state code is MI. Employer strings such as auto firms live on industry pages, not this office-state join. 2010 is a midterm two-year FEC window. It is a different cycle key from a presidential-year Michigan page. This join does not list donors, does not name candidates, and does not allocate $39,040,739.93 by House, Senate, or presidential line.
Sixty-three Michigan office-state candidates sit behind $39,040,739.93 — a relatively thick name count for this extract. The packet still withholds the names. The national 2010 tally is 2,190 candidates. Michigan’s candidate count is 2.88% of the national candidate count, while its receipts are 2.10% of $1,854,998,616.07. Those two shares are not required to match. Mean receipts in the cell are about $619,694.28 per candidate ($39,040,739.93 ÷ 63). The national mean is about $847,031.33 ($1,854,998,616.07 ÷ 2,190). Means are arithmetic. They are not medians.
What $39,040,739.93 measures for Michigan in 2010
$39,040,739.93 is Michigan candidate receipts inside cycle 2010 only. It is not Michigan’s lifetime total across cycles, and it is not itemized individual giving by Michigan residents. Donor-city and occupation tables are other joins. Citing $1,854,998,616.07 as a Michigan figure mixes the national cycle hub into this cell. Citing $39,040,739.93 as the 2010 national total mixes the cell into the cycle hub.
63 is the candidate count attached to office state MI in 2010. 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 Primary challengers, withdrawn filings, and general-election nominees can all sit in an FEC candidate count; this page does not split them.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 Michigan state hub without a year for the state overlay; use the 2010 cycle hub without a state for the national overlay; use this URL for the join.
2010’s national $1,854,998,616.07 across 2,190 candidates
$1,854,998,616.07 is the national 2010 candidate-receipt total across 2,190 candidates. Subtracting the Michigan cell leaves $1,815,957,876.14 in other office states. 2.10% is a dollar share of the national cycle, not a share of Electoral College votes, House seats, or population. 2.88% is a candidate-count share only. 2010 is a midterm two-year FEC window in calendar terms; that label does not split $1,854,998,616.07 by office type.
The 2010 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 $39,040,739.93 or $1,854,998,616.07. Federal contract and grant amounts live in USAspending, a different dataset. Sharing a calendar year does not turn these receipts into awards.
Michigan’s midterm share, labeled twice
$39,040,739.93 ÷ $1,854,998,616.07 = 2.10%. $1,815,957,876.14 ÷ $1,854,998,616.07 = 97.90%. 63 ÷ 2,190 = 2.88%. Those identities use packet facts only. They are not voter shares and not proof that Michigan ‘won’ or ‘lost’ a money race. Do not add $39,040,739.93 to $1,854,998,616.07.
Keep the labels glued to the numbers. $39,040,739.93 always travels with Michigan, MI, 2010, and 63 candidates. $1,854,998,616.07 always travels with the national 2010 cycle and 2,190 candidates. Source: FEC.gov candidate receipts grouped by election cycle and office state.
Auto-employer folklore is not a packet fact
This page does not rank Michigan 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. Do not fold auto-sector occupation totals into $39,040,739.93. Those are other dimensions. This cell is office state MI × cycle 2010 only.
Do not claim $39,040,739.93 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.
