Who raised $49.5 million in Wisconsin in 2010?

33 federal candidates with office state WI in cycle 2010, in aggregate. This packet does not list their names, parties, or offices. Inventing a candidate or donor name would exceed the facts. Use live candidate pages for names.

Why is $1,854,998,616.07 on a Wisconsin page?

Because this is a join. $1,854,998,616.07 is the national 2010 denominator that makes 2.7% computable. It is not additional Wisconsin money. Wisconsin money in 2010 remains $49,530,163.84. Cite the national figure only as the cycle total.

Does 33 include state-legislature candidates in Wisconsin?

No. These are FEC candidate records for federal office, grouped by office state WI. Wisconsin state-office campaigns file under state law, not in this FEC candidate-receipt join. 33 is the federal candidate count in the packet.

Source: FEC.gov.

Reading $49.5 million as cycle 2010 in WI

Headline number: $49,530,163.84 ($49.5 million). Candidate count: 33. National cycle receipts: $1,854,998,616.07 ($1.9 billion). National candidate count: 2190. Remainder outside Wisconsin: $1,805,468,452.23. Share of the 2010 cycle: 2.7%. Those quantities are the join. Everything else on this page explains what they are and are not.

Wisconsin in 2010 is not Wisconsin in every year and is not 2010 in every state. Mixing those frames is how a hub restatement sneaks in. The 33 candidates exist only at the intersection. An WI office-state code does not mean the receipts came from Wisconsin donors, and it does not mean the money funded federal contracts in Wisconsin.

Wisconsin (WI) is the FEC office-state code. Minnesota, Illinois, and Michigan office states are separate keys. FEC.gov stores cycle 2010 as a midterm even-year window. Use that label for dating the receipts, not for ranking Wisconsin against other states. Source: FEC.gov candidate receipts by cycle and office state.

Reading $49.5 million as an office-state book for 2010

The state dimension answers a different question than the national cycle. How much candidate-receipt money is stored under office state WI in cycle 2010? $49,530,163.84. How much of the U.S. 2010 candidate-receipt book is that? 2.7% ($49,530,163.84 of $1,854,998,616.07). The difference is $1,805,468,452.23 in other office states. Those are stack identities, not rankings.

Wisconsin (WI) is the FEC office-state code. Minnesota, Illinois, and Michigan office states are separate keys. Candidates who filed with a different office-state code are excluded from $49,530,163.84 even if they campaigned in Wisconsin media markets. Filers do not get recoded. This page does not invent their names.

National 2010 receipts versus the Wisconsin slice

Cycle 2010 tagged 2190 U.S. candidate records for a national sum of $1,854,998,616.07. Wisconsin is 33 of those candidates and $49,530,163.84 of those dollars. That is the cycle slice versus the state slice. It is a midterm window. It is not a ranking of Wisconsin among states, because this packet has one geography.

Quote $1.9 billion only as the national 2010 candidate-receipt total. Quote $49.5 million only as the Wisconsin office-state total inside that cycle. Swapping the labels is the main citation error this page is written to block.

The complement: $1.8 billion outside Wisconsin

The complement of the join inside the national cycle book is $1,805,468,452.23 (97.3%). That money is still cycle 2010; it is just not tagged office state WI. The join itself remains $49,530,163.84 / 33 candidates / Wisconsin. Keep the complement and the join distinct in citations.

2.7% is not a turnout rate, not a share of Wisconsin itemized individual dollars, and not a share of federal awards in Wisconsin. Those denominators are absent. Use only $1,854,998,616.07 when stating the cycle share.

Receipts, not independent expenditures

What the table includes: FEC candidate receipts with office state WI and cycle 2010, summing to $49,530,163.84 across 33 candidates, against a national cycle $1,854,998,616.07 from 2190 candidates. What it excludes: everything else. That exclusion list is how this page stays a join instead of a hub restatement.

About $1.50 million per Wisconsin candidate should never be quoted as a typical Wisconsin campaign. Typical would need a median and an office-type split. This extract has neither. 33 candidates can hide a lopsided mix of large and small committees — both directions are possible and neither is measured here.

How to cite the pair
