Cycle 2010 × office state Virginia (VA)

Two filters are true at once: election cycle 2010, and office state VA (Virginia). Only rows that match both produce $41,823,003.01 from 58 candidates. The 2010 election-cycle hub still mixes every office state and therefore shows $1,854,998,616.07. The Virginia campaign-finance hub still mixes every cycle. $41,823,003.01 lives only at the intersection. A restatement of 2010 would still mix states. A restatement of Virginia 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 Virginia office-state candidate can come from any state. Virginia’s office-state code on the candidate master is VA. Commonwealth wording on a ballot does not create a second geography key here. 2010 is a midterm two-year FEC window, not a presidential Tuesday and not a single November night. This join does not list donors, does not name candidates, and does not allocate $41,823,003.01 by House, Senate, or presidential line.

Fifty-eight Virginia office-state candidates sit behind $41,823,003.01. That count is a filing tally, not a published roster and not a House-versus-Senate split. The national 2010 tally is 2,190 candidates. Virginia’s candidate count is 2.65% of the national candidate count, while its receipts are 2.25% of $1,854,998,616.07. Those two shares are not required to match. Mean receipts in the cell are about $721,086.26 per candidate ($41,823,003.01 ÷ 58). The national mean is about $847,031.33 ($1,854,998,616.07 ÷ 2,190). Means are arithmetic. They are not medians.

Virginia’s $41.8 million is not the 2010 national book

$41,823,003.01 is Virginia candidate receipts inside cycle 2010 only. It is not Virginia’s lifetime total across cycles, and it is not itemized individual giving by Virginia residents. Donor-city and occupation tables are other joins. Citing $1,854,998,616.07 as a Virginia figure mixes the national cycle hub into this cell. Citing $41,823,003.01 as the 2010 national total mixes the cell into the cycle hub.

58 is the candidate count attached to office state VA 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 Primary challengers, withdrawn filings, and general-election nominees can all sit in an FEC candidate count; this page does not split them.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 Virginia 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.

The 2010 national candidate-receipt total

$1,854,998,616.07 is the national 2010 candidate-receipt total across 2,190 candidates. Subtracting the Virginia cell leaves $1,813,175,613.06 in other office states. 2.25% is a dollar share of the national cycle, not a share of Electoral College votes, House seats, or population. 2.65% 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 $41,823,003.01 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.

Keeping Virginia dollars off the national line

$41,823,003.01 ÷ $1,854,998,616.07 = 2.25%. $1,813,175,613.06 ÷ $1,854,998,616.07 = 97.75%. 58 ÷ 2,190 = 2.65%. Those identities use packet facts only. They are not voter shares and not proof that Virginia ‘won’ or ‘lost’ a money race. Do not add $41,823,003.01 to $1,854,998,616.07.

Keep the labels glued to the numbers. $41,823,003.01 always travels with Virginia, VA, 2010, and 58 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.

What a Virginia–2010 join does not prove

This page does not rank Virginia 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 treat $41,823,003.01 as proof that Virginia voters ‘bought’ the 2010 midterm. Receipts are not votes. The join does not name candidates or donors.

Do not claim $41,823,003.01 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.
