Nevada candidate fundraising — 2010 cycle

Joining the 2010 cycle to Nevada office state

$61,266,559 is the Nevada office-state candidate-receipt cell on FEC.gov for 2010. That figure is Nevada candidate-committee receipts for federal office in office state NV during the 2010 cycle, as grouped on FEC.gov. The matching national book is $1,854,998,616 ($1.85 billion) across 2,190 candidates. Nevada is 3.3% of those cycle dollars and 1.4% of the cycle candidate roster. This page exists because the two dimensions meet. It is not a restatement of the 2010 cycle hub alone and not a restatement of the Nevada state hub across every cycle.

Office state on this page is the state of the federal office. A Senate or House candidate listed with office state NV enters the Nevada cell for 2010 even if some receipts were raised out of state. A donor who lives in Nevada and gives to a different office state does not enter this cell by residence. The Nevada hub at /states/NV/ is the broader state view; this tie freezes one cycle.

Nevada’s 31-candidate 2010 receipt stack

Nevada’s 2010 cell holds $61,266,559 ($61.3 million) from 31 office-state candidates. Dividing receipts by that candidate count gives an arithmetic mean of about $1,976,341 per listed candidate. That mean is a ratio of two FEC columns. It is not a median, not a typical itemized contribution, and not evidence that each campaign raised the same amount. The Nevada hub at /states/NV/ mixes cycles; this tie freezes 2010 only.

Nevada versus the 2010 national total

Nevada accounts for 3.3% of 2010 cycle dollars and 1.4% of 2010 cycle candidates. Those two percentages need not match. A state can hold a larger share of listed candidates than of receipts, or the reverse. Thirty-one Nevada office-state candidates sit behind the cell, inside a 2010 cycle roster of 2,190 candidates. The 2010 national book is $1.85 billion, so Nevada’s percentage of cycle dollars is higher than the same dollar cell would be inside a $7.98 billion 2020 book. Neither percentage is a ranking of winners. The remaining $1,793,732,057 stayed in other office states.

The 2010 cycle table on FEC.gov shows $1,854,998,616 in candidate receipts nationwide and 2,190 candidates. After removing Nevada, $1,793,732,057 and 2,159 candidates remain in other office states. Those remainder figures are arithmetic (cycle minus state). They are not a second FEC file. Opening only this tie would hide that remainder. The 2010 hub at /election-cycles/2010/ keeps the full book; /election-cycles/ lists every cycle; /ties/ lists other two-key joins.

What Nevada 2010 receipts leave out

This join does not count independent expenditures, party coordinated expenditures, or unitemized receipts that never entered the candidate-receipt aggregate. It does not name donors. It does not say FEC receipts funded federal awards on USAspending.gov; those are different datasets even when the geography string matches. Office state NV is the seat sought, not the mailing state of contributors. Correlation between a busy cycle and a large state cell is not causation and not an election-outcome claim. Quote $61,266,559 as Nevada in 2010, and quote $1,854,998,616 as the 2010 national total — never as each other.

Nevada hub, 2010 hub, and this overlap

Read /states/NV/ for Nevada campaign-finance totals that mix cycles. Read /election-cycles/2010/ for the 2010 cycle across every office state. Read /election-cycles/ for the cycle index and /ties/ for other FEC two-dimension pages. This URL, Nevada × 2010, is only the overlap: 31 candidates and $61,266,559 in receipts, sourced to FEC.gov candidate receipts grouped by election cycle and office state.

Cite two lines, never one: 2010 Nevada office-state candidate receipts $61,266,559 from 31 candidates, and 2010 national candidate receipts $1,854,998,616 from 2,190 candidates. The first line is the join cell. The second is the cycle book. FEC.gov is the source for both. Canonical path: /ties/2010-nevada-candidate-receipts/.

Nevada’s 2010 cell is 31 candidates and $61,266,559. Residence of donors is not the grouping key. A later FEC bulk file can move Nevada’s 2010 cell and the 2010 cycle book together; this snapshot stores $61,266,559 and $1,854,998,616 as harvested. Independent expenditures remain outside both columns. Donor names are not in this FEC grouping.

Questions

How much did Nevada federal candidates raise in 2010?

$61,266,559 is FEC.gov candidate receipts for federal office in Nevada during the 2010 cycle. It is not the $1.85 billion national cycle total and not independent expenditures. Office state is the seat, not donor home address. Do not swap in the 2010 national total of $1.85 billion.

How many Nevada candidates are in the 2010 table?

The 2010 cycle book on FEC.gov is $1,854,998,616 across 2,190 candidates nationwide. Nevada is 31 of those candidates and $61,266,559 of those receipts (3.3% of cycle dollars). The table count is 31 office-state candidates.

Does this include Nevada Super PAC independent spending?

No. This page is candidate committee receipts grouped by election cycle 2010 and office state NV. It does not name individual donors, does not sum PAC independent expenditures, and does not treat FEC receipts as USAspending awards. Independent expenditures are outside candidate-receipt totals.

Where is the Nevada campaign-finance hub?

Use /election-cycles/2010/ for the 2010 national cycle hub and /states/NV/ for Nevada across cycles. All election cycles live at /election-cycles/. Sibling cycle-state joins live at /ties/. The 2010 cycle hub is the national book for that year.
