Texas candidate receipts in the 2010 cycle

Texas’s 111-candidate midterm receipt cell

Two filters are true at once: election cycle 2010, and office state TX (Texas). Only rows that match both produce $52,361,142.20 from 111 candidates. The 2010 election-cycle hub still mixes every office state and therefore shows $1,854,998,616.07. The Texas campaign-finance hub still mixes every cycle. $52,361,142.20 lives only at the intersection. A restatement of 2010 would still mix states. A restatement of Texas 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 Texas office-state candidate can come from any state. Texas’s office-state code is TX. Houston or Dallas donor geography is another dimension. 2010 is a midterm two-year FEC window. A large candidate count does not convert {sr} into a donor-state total. This join does not list donors, does not name candidates, and does not allocate $52,361,142.20 by House, Senate, or presidential line.

One hundred eleven Texas office-state candidates produced $52,361,142.20. Mean receipts are about $471,722 per candidate — a lower average on a thick roster, still not a typical-district budget. The national 2010 tally is 2,190 candidates. Texas’s candidate count is 5.07% of the national candidate count, while its receipts are 2.82% of $1,854,998,616.07. Those two shares are not required to match. Mean receipts in the cell are about $471,722 per candidate ($52,361,142.20 ÷ 111). The national mean is about $847,031.33 ($1,854,998,616.07 ÷ 2,190). Means are arithmetic. They are not medians.

Texas’s $52,361,142.20 is still only the 2010 office-state sum

$52,361,142.20 is Texas candidate receipts inside cycle 2010 only. It is not Texas’s lifetime total across cycles, and it is not itemized individual giving by Texas residents. Donor-city and occupation tables are other joins. Citing $1,854,998,616.07 as a Texas figure mixes the national cycle hub into this cell. Citing $52,361,142.20 as the 2010 national total mixes the cell into the cycle hub.

111 is the candidate count attached to office state TX 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 Primary challengers, withdrawn filings, and general-election nominees can all sit in an FEC candidate count; this page does not split them.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 Texas 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 receipts of $1,854,998,616.07

$1,854,998,616.07 is the national 2010 candidate-receipt total across 2,190 candidates. Subtracting the Texas cell leaves $1,802,637,473.87 in other office states. 2.82% is a dollar share of the national cycle, not a share of Electoral College votes, House seats, or population. 5.07% 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 $52,361,142.20 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.

A thick TX roster against a midterm national book

$52,361,142.20 ÷ $1,854,998,616.07 = 2.82%. $1,802,637,473.87 ÷ $1,854,998,616.07 = 97.18%. 111 ÷ 2,190 = 5.07%. Those identities use packet facts only. They are not voter shares and not proof that Texas ‘won’ or ‘lost’ a money race. Do not add $52,361,142.20 to $1,854,998,616.07.

Keep the labels glued to the numbers. $52,361,142.20 always travels with Texas, TX, 2010, and 111 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.

Energy-occupation pages stay off this total

This page does not rank Texas 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 add oil-and-gas occupation totals to $52,361,142.20. Industry-cycle pages are other joins. This cell is office state TX × cycle 2010.

Do not claim $52,361,142.20 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.

Texas hub and the 2010 cycle hub

The 2010 election cycle hub holds the national $1,854,998,616.07 overlay. Texas campaign finance holds the state overlay across cycles. All election cycles lists other even-year windows. All FEC ties lists sibling cycle-and-state pages built the same way. FEC.gov is the source. Quote $52,361,142.20 only with office state TX and cycle 2010.
