2010 FEC cycle — Ohio office-state receipts
State cell: $79.4 million from 76 Ohio candidates in 2010. National cell: $1.9 billion from 2190 U.S. candidates in 2010. Cite both labels. Strip the state filter and $79,405,803.44 is misread as national. Strip the cycle filter and it is misread as all-years Ohio. FEC.gov is the source.
Key figures
- Ohio 2010 candidate receipts: $79,405,803.44. U.S. 2010 candidate receipts: $1,854,998,616.07.
- Share: 4.3%. Remainder outside Ohio: $1,775,592,812.63.
- Ohio mean about $1.04 million; U.S. mean about $847,031. Neither is a median.
- Office state OH identifies the seat, not the donor's home.
- FEC receipts do not fund federal awards.
Both filters: 2010 and Ohio (OH)
Ohio candidates in 2010 reported $79,405,803.44. U.S. candidates in 2010 reported $1,854,998,616.07. Subtract and other office states hold $1,775,592,812.63. Divide and Ohio is 4.3% of the cycle. Count and the files are 76 versus 2190. That is the entire numeric claim set.
The page exists because two tables meet. The cycle table answers how large 2010 was nationally. The state table answers how Ohio looks across years. This tie answers only how Ohio looked inside 2010. 76 is a relatively large candidate file for this office state. Mean about $1.04 million per Ohio candidate uses $79,405,803.44 and 76 only.
The 2010 cycle is a closed even-year window in this extract; $79,405,803.44 is the stored Ohio office-state total for that window. Ohio (OH) is the FEC office-state code. Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky office states are not merged into OH. Do not add $79,405,803.44 to USAspending obligations for Ohio. Campaign receipts and federal awards are different datasets.

76 candidates seeking Ohio federal offices
What the Ohio side includes: candidate receipts tagged office state OH and cycle 2010, summing to $79,405,803.44 across 76 candidates. What it excludes: other cycles for Ohio, other office states for 2010, independent expenditures, and unitemized or non-candidate tables not in this aggregate.
Mean about $1.04 million should be quoted with both inputs. Dropping 76 turns the mean into an unsourced claim. Ohio (OH) is the FEC office-state code. Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky office states are not merged into OH. State-office campaign finance under Ohio law is a different disclosure system.
How 2010 national totals bound the Ohio figure
2010 national receipts of $1,854,998,616.07 are the ceiling this Ohio figure sits under. $79,405,803.44 cannot exceed $1,854,998,616.07 in a consistent extract; here it is 4.3% of the ceiling. $1.8 billion is the room between the Ohio cell and the national ceiling.
The cycle hub still answers questions this page refuses: every state's mix, national party mix if published there, and other cycle-level tables. This file stays on Ohio × 2010. Ohio (OH) is the FEC office-state code. Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky office states are not merged into OH.
4.3% is a cycle share, not a ranking
Share language that is allowed: Ohio office-state candidate receipts were 4.3% of U.S. candidate receipts in the 2010 cycle ($79,405,803.44 of $1,854,998,616.07). Share language that is not allowed: Ohio accounted for 4.3% of federal spending, 4.3% of donors, or 4.3% of votes. Those claims need other tables.
The remainder $1.8 billion is not a list of rival states. It is a single leftover sum. This page does not itemize it.
No invented names, no invented offices
No candidate names appear here because the packet did not list them. No donor names appear here because this is not a donor page. No committee IDs appear here because the packet did not list them. The published objects are the two dollar columns, the two candidate counts, the cycle year, and the office-state code.
Ohio (OH) is the FEC office-state code. Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky office states are not merged into OH. Researchers who need named candidates should open the live Ohio campaign-finance hub or the 2010 cycle hub, which are different pages with different grain. This tie stays aggregated.
Keep the two dollar columns labeled
Label every dollar figure when you reuse it. $79.4 million = Ohio candidate receipts in 2010. $1.9 billion = U.S. candidate receipts in 2010. $1.8 billion = other office states in 2010. If a sentence uses one of those figures without the label, rewrite the sentence.
The four internal links exist so readers can leave the join for the matching hub. 2010 election cycle holds the national year. Ohio campaign finance holds the state mix. All election cycles lists other windows. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. Source: FEC.gov.
Ohio in 2010 can be cited in one sentence without losing the join: office-state candidates in OH reported $79,405,803.44 on a file of 76 candidates, inside a national 2010 candidate-receipt total of $1,854,998,616.07 from 2190 candidates, for a dollar share of 4.3%. That sentence uses every packet dollar column once. A second sentence can add the complement $1,775,592,812.63 and the two means, $1.04 million in Ohio 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. Ohio (OH) is the FEC office-state code. Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky office states are not merged into OH. The 2010 cycle is a closed even-year window in this extract; $79,405,803.44 is the stored Ohio office-state total for that window. Those three sentences are still the same join. They are not a restatement of the Ohio 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 OH.
Questions
- How does Ohio in 2010 differ from the Ohio state hub?
- The state hub mixes every cycle stored for office state OH. This tie keeps only 2010, where receipts are $79,405,803.44 from 76 candidates. If you need Ohio without a year filter, use the state hub. If you need Ohio in 2010 only, use this page. The two pages share a geography noun and different denominators.
- How does this page differ from the 2010 election cycle hub?
- The cycle hub mixes every office state. National receipts are $1,854,998,616.07 from 2190 candidates. This page keeps only Ohio, where receipts are $79,405,803.44 from 76 candidates. The cycle hub is the parent row; this URL is one cell. Do not cite the parent total as the Ohio cell.
- What does a mean of $1.04 million per Ohio candidate mean?
- It is $79,405,803.44 divided by 76. It is not a median, not a typical House budget, and not a unique-person average. A few large statewide committees can pull the mean up. The packet does not publish a median or an office-type split, so this page does not invent one.
- Is the 2010 Ohio total a closed final number?
- The 2010 cycle is a closed even-year window in this extract; $79,405,803.44 is the stored Ohio office-state total for that window. Amended candidate reports can still move $79,405,803.44. If the live Ohio hub or the live 2010 hub disagrees with this snapshot, use the newer FEC extract. This JSON file does not replace FEC.gov and is not a third disclosure system.
