Arizona 2012 cycle candidate fundraising

Office state Arizona inside the 2012 FEC cycle

Cycle 2012 and Arizona (AZ) are the two nouns this URL must keep together. Drop Arizona and you are citing $3.3 billion from 2025 U.S. candidates. Drop 2012 and you are citing a state hub that still mixes other even-year windows. Keep both and the number is $54.0 million from 63 candidates.

1.7% names $53,965,867.10 as a share of $3,267,855,820.57. It does not name a share of Arizona population, a share of House seats, or a share of itemized individual donors. Those denominators are absent. $3.2 billion is the complement inside the same 2012 cycle, other office states only.

Arizona (AZ) is the FEC office-state code. Nevada, New Mexico, and California office states are not merged into AZ. 2012 is a presidential two-year FEC window. Source: FEC.gov candidate receipts grouped by election cycle and office state. Not a claim about federal spending.

How FEC stores Arizona as an office state

Arizona (AZ) in 2012 is one cell in a cycle-by-state grid. The cell value is $53,965,867.10. The cell's candidate count is 63. Other cells in the 2012 row sum to $3,213,889,953.47. This page publishes one cell, then explains the row total $3,267,855,820.57.

Because the packet has one state, this page does not rank Arizona against Tennessee, Ohio, or any other office state. Rankings would require the other cells. Arizona (AZ) is the FEC office-state code. Nevada, New Mexico, and California office states are not merged into AZ. Office state is not a donor map.

Reading $3.3 billion as the 2012 denominator

National candidate volume in 2012 is 2025. Arizona candidate volume is 63. Dollar counterparts are $3,267,855,820.57 and $53,965,867.10. Pair counts with dollars. A small candidate file can still hold a large dollar total if a few committees dominate; this packet does not prove that pattern, and it does not disprove it.

Do not mix state receipts with the cycle total

$54.0 million sits inside $3.3 billion the way a state cell sits inside a national row. Removing Arizona does not make $53,965,867.10 equal $3,267,855,820.57. Removing other states does not make $3,267,855,820.57 equal $53,965,867.10. Citations should name the filter that was applied.

63 versus 2025 is the candidate-count analog of that nesting. 63 is a relatively large candidate file for this office state. Means $856,601 (Arizona) and $1.61 million (U.S.) stay attached to their denominators.

What FEC candidate receipts include here

Independent expenditures can dwarf or trail candidate receipts in a given state-cycle, and this packet does not say which. Super PAC and other independent-spend tables are other files. Mixing them into $53,965,867.10 would invent a number.

Federal awards in Arizona are USAspending, not FEC. $53,965,867.10 does not pay for those awards. $3,267,855,820.57 does not pay for them either. Keep the statutes apart even though both can mention Arizona and 2012.

Amended reports and live hubs

Candidate reports amend. A later 2012 extract can raise or lower $53,965,867.10 without this JSON file changing. Treat the live Arizona hub and the live 2012 hub as current, and treat this prose as a labeled snapshot of packet facts: $53,965,867.10, 63, $3,267,855,820.57, 2025.

Arizona (AZ) is the FEC office-state code. Nevada, New Mexico, and California office states are not merged into AZ. Sibling cycle-state pages for other years or other office states are other slugs. Do not reuse $53,965,867.10 on those pages.

Arizona in 2012 can be cited in one sentence without losing the join: office-state candidates in AZ reported $53,965,867.10 on a file of 63 candidates, inside a national 2012 candidate-receipt total of $3,267,855,820.57 from 2025 candidates, for a dollar share of 1.7%. That sentence uses every packet dollar column once. A second sentence can add the complement $3,213,889,953.47 and the two means, $856,601 in Arizona and $1.61 million 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. Arizona (AZ) is the FEC office-state code. Nevada, New Mexico, and California office states are not merged into AZ. The 2012 cycle is a closed even-year window in this extract; $53,965,867.10 is the stored Arizona office-state total for that window. Those three sentences are still the same join. They are not a restatement of the Arizona hub and they are not a restatement of the 2012 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 2012 and office state AZ.

Questions

How does Arizona in 2012 differ from the Arizona state hub?

The state hub mixes every cycle stored for office state AZ. This tie keeps only 2012, where receipts are $53,965,867.10 from 63 candidates. If you need Arizona without a year filter, use the state hub. If you need Arizona in 2012 only, use this page.

How does this page differ from the 2012 election cycle hub?

The cycle hub mixes every office state. National receipts are $3,267,855,820.57 from 2025 candidates. This page keeps only Arizona, where receipts are $53,965,867.10 from 63 candidates. The cycle hub is the parent row; this URL is one cell.

What does a mean of $856,601 per Arizona candidate mean?

It is $53,965,867.10 divided by 63. 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.

Is the 2012 Arizona total a closed final number?

The 2012 cycle is a closed even-year window in this extract; $53,965,867.10 is the stored Arizona office-state total for that window. Amended candidate reports can still move $53,965,867.10. If the live Arizona hub or the live 2012 hub disagrees with this snapshot, use the newer FEC extract. This JSON file does not replace FEC.gov.
