Missouri 2012 cycle candidate fundraising

Office state Missouri inside the 2012 FEC cycle

Cycle 2012 and Missouri (MO) are the two nouns this URL must keep together. Drop Missouri 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 $50.9 million from 34 candidates.

1.6% names $50,921,690.03 as a share of $3,267,855,820.57. It does not name a share of Missouri 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.

Missouri (MO) is the FEC office-state code. Illinois, Kansas, and Arkansas office states are other keys. 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 Missouri as an office state

Missouri (MO) in 2012 is one cell in a cycle-by-state grid. The cell value is $50,921,690.03. The cell's candidate count is 34. Other cells in the 2012 row sum to $3,216,934,130.54. 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 Missouri against Tennessee, Ohio, or any other office state. Rankings would require the other cells. Missouri (MO) is the FEC office-state code. Illinois, Kansas, and Arkansas office states are other keys. Office state is not a donor map.

Reading $3.3 billion as the 2012 denominator

National candidate volume in 2012 is 2025. Missouri candidate volume is 34. Dollar counterparts are $3,267,855,820.57 and $50,921,690.03. 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

$50.9 million sits inside $3.3 billion the way a state cell sits inside a national row. Removing Missouri does not make $50,921,690.03 equal $3,267,855,820.57. Removing other states does not make $3,267,855,820.57 equal $50,921,690.03. Citations should name the filter that was applied.

34 versus 2025 is the candidate-count analog of that nesting. 34 is a mid-size candidate file. Means $1.50 million (Missouri) 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 $50,921,690.03 would invent a number.

Federal awards in Missouri are USAspending, not FEC. $50,921,690.03 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 Missouri and 2012.

Amended reports and live hubs

Candidate reports amend. A later 2012 extract can raise or lower $50,921,690.03 without this JSON file changing. Treat the live Missouri hub and the live 2012 hub as current, and treat this prose as a labeled snapshot of packet facts: $50,921,690.03, 34, $3,267,855,820.57, 2025.

Missouri (MO) is the FEC office-state code. Illinois, Kansas, and Arkansas office states are other keys. Sibling cycle-state pages for other years or other office states are other slugs. Do not reuse $50,921,690.03 on those pages.

Readers sometimes arrive from a Missouri search and assume $3,267,855,820.57 is local, or arrive from a 2012 search and assume $50,921,690.03 is national. Both misreadings are prevented by keeping the office-state noun and the cycle noun in every dollar sentence. $50.9 million is local to office state MO in 2012. $3.3 billion is national for 2012. 34 is the Missouri candidate file. 2025 is the U.S. candidate file. Independent expenditures remain outside both files as used here. Federal spending awards remain outside both files. The 2012 cycle is a closed even-year window in this extract; $50,921,690.03 is the stored Missouri office-state total for that window. Missouri (MO) is the FEC office-state code. Illinois, Kansas, and Arkansas office states are other keys. If this snapshot and a live hub diverge, the live FEC extract wins. This JSON object is a labeled copy of packet facts, not a parallel disclosure system and not a scoreboard of Missouri politics in 2012.

Questions

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

The state hub mixes every cycle stored for office state MO. This tie keeps only 2012, where receipts are $50,921,690.03 from 34 candidates. If you need Missouri without a year filter, use the state hub. If you need Missouri 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 Missouri, where receipts are $50,921,690.03 from 34 candidates. The cycle hub is the parent row; this URL is one cell.

What does a mean of $1.50 million per Missouri candidate mean?

It is $50,921,690.03 divided by 34. 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 Missouri total a closed final number?

The 2012 cycle is a closed even-year window in this extract; $50,921,690.03 is the stored Missouri office-state total for that window. Amended candidate reports can still move $50,921,690.03. If the live Missouri hub or the live 2012 hub disagrees with this snapshot, use the newer FEC extract. This JSON file does not replace FEC.gov.
