North Carolina office state inside the 2010 cycle
Two filters are true at once: election cycle 2010, and office state NC (North Carolina). Only rows that match both produce $35,432,149.85 from 63 candidates. The 2010 election-cycle hub still mixes every office state and therefore shows $1,854,998,616.07. The North Carolina campaign-finance hub still mixes every cycle. $35,432,149.85 lives only at the intersection. A restatement of 2010 would still mix states. A restatement of North Carolina 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 North Carolina office-state candidate can come from any state. North Carolina’s office-state code is NC. County boards of elections are not this FEC candidate-receipt join. 2010 is a midterm two-year FEC window. It is a different even-year key from a presidential-year North Carolina page. This join does not list donors, does not name candidates, and does not allocate $35,432,149.85 by House, Senate, or presidential line.
Sixty-three North Carolina office-state candidates produced $35,432,149.85. That is a thick name count for this extract. Mean receipts are about $562,415.08 per candidate. The national 2010 tally is 2,190 candidates. North Carolina’s candidate count is 2.88% of the national candidate count, while its receipts are 1.91% of $1,854,998,616.07. Those two shares are not required to match. Mean receipts in the cell are about $562,415.08 per candidate ($35,432,149.85 ÷ 63). The national mean is about $847,031.33 ($1,854,998,616.07 ÷ 2,190). Means are arithmetic. They are not medians.
North Carolina’s $35,432,149.85 is a midterm office-state sum
$35,432,149.85 is North Carolina candidate receipts inside cycle 2010 only. It is not North Carolina’s lifetime total across cycles, and it is not itemized individual giving by North Carolina residents. Donor-city and occupation tables are other joins. Citing $1,854,998,616.07 as a North Carolina figure mixes the national cycle hub into this cell. Citing $35,432,149.85 as the 2010 national total mixes the cell into the cycle hub.
63 is the candidate count attached to office state NC 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 Primary challengers, withdrawn filings, and general-election nominees can all sit in an FEC candidate count; this page does not split them.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 North Carolina 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 national candidate receipts: $1,854,998,616.07
$1,854,998,616.07 is the national 2010 candidate-receipt total across 2,190 candidates. Subtracting the North Carolina cell leaves $1,819,566,466.22 in other office states. 1.91% 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 $35,432,149.85 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.
Sixty-three NC candidates and a midterm book
$35,432,149.85 ÷ $1,854,998,616.07 = 1.91%. $1,819,566,466.22 ÷ $1,854,998,616.07 = 98.09%. 63 ÷ 2,190 = 2.88%. Those identities use packet facts only. They are not voter shares and not proof that North Carolina ‘won’ or ‘lost’ a money race. Do not add $35,432,149.85 to $1,854,998,616.07.
Keep the labels glued to the numbers. $35,432,149.85 always travels with North Carolina, NC, 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.
Research Triangle employer strings stay off this page
This page does not rank North Carolina 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. University or bank employer totals are other tables. Adding them to $35,432,149.85 would mix dimensions the packet keeps apart.
Do not claim $35,432,149.85 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.
