Who raised $41.8 million in New Jersey in 2012?

46 federal candidates with office state NJ in cycle 2012, 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 $3,267,855,820.57 on a New Jersey page?

Because this is a join. $3,267,855,820.57 is the national 2012 denominator that makes 1.3% computable. It is not additional New Jersey money. New Jersey money in 2012 remains $41,838,368.77. Cite the national figure only as the cycle total.

Does 46 include state-legislature candidates in New Jersey?

No. These are FEC candidate records for federal office, grouped by office state NJ. New Jersey state-office campaigns file under state law, not in this FEC candidate-receipt join. 46 is the federal candidate count in the packet.

2012 FEC cycle — New Jersey candidate receipts

$41.8 million from 46 candidates is the New Jersey side of the 2012 cycle. $3.3 billion from 2025 candidates is the national side. Cite both. Dropping the state filter turns $41,838,368.77 into a fake national number. Dropping the cycle filter turns it into a fake all-years New Jersey number. FEC.gov is the source system.

Two filters: 2012 and New Jersey (NJ)

New Jersey candidates in 2012 reported $41,838,368.77. U.S. candidates in 2012 reported $3,267,855,820.57. Subtract and other office states hold $3,226,017,451.80. Divide and New Jersey is 1.3% of the cycle. Count and the files are 46 versus 2025. That is the entire numeric claim set.

The page exists because two tables meet. The cycle table answers how large 2012 was nationally. The state table answers how New Jersey looks across years. This tie answers only how New Jersey looked inside 2012. 46 is a relatively large candidate file for this office state. Mean about $909,530 per New Jersey candidate uses $41,838,368.77 and 46 only.

The 2012 cycle is a closed even-year window in this extract; $41,838,368.77 is the stored New Jersey office-state total for that window. New Jersey (NJ) is the FEC office-state code. New York, Pennsylvania, and Delaware office states are other keys. Do not add $41,838,368.77 to USAspending obligations for New Jersey. Campaign receipts and federal awards are different datasets.

46 candidates seeking New Jersey federal offices

What the New Jersey side includes: candidate receipts tagged office state NJ and cycle 2012, summing to $41,838,368.77 across 46 candidates. What it excludes: other cycles for New Jersey, other office states for 2012, independent expenditures, and unitemized or non-candidate tables not in this aggregate.

Mean about $909,530 should be quoted with both inputs. Dropping 46 turns the mean into an unsourced claim. New Jersey (NJ) is the FEC office-state code. New York, Pennsylvania, and Delaware office states are other keys. State-office campaign finance under New Jersey law is a different disclosure system.

How 2012 national totals bound the New Jersey figure

2012 national receipts of $3,267,855,820.57 are the ceiling this New Jersey figure sits under. $41,838,368.77 cannot exceed $3,267,855,820.57 in a consistent extract; here it is 1.3% of the ceiling. $3.2 billion is the room between the New Jersey cell and the national ceiling.

The cycle hub still answers questions this page refuses: every state's mix, national party mix if published there, and other cycle-level tables. This file stays on New Jersey × 2012. New Jersey (NJ) is the FEC office-state code. New York, Pennsylvania, and Delaware office states are other keys.

1.3% is a cycle share, not a ranking

Share language that is allowed: New Jersey office-state candidate receipts were 1.3% of U.S. candidate receipts in the 2012 cycle ($41,838,368.77 of $3,267,855,820.57). Share language that is not allowed: New Jersey accounted for 1.3% of federal spending, 1.3% of donors, or 1.3% of votes. Those claims need other tables.

The remainder $3.2 billion is not a list of rival states. It is a single leftover sum. This page does not itemize it.

No invented names, no invented offices

No candidate names appear here because the packet did not list them. No donor names appear here because this is not a donor page. No committee IDs appear here because the packet did not list them. The published objects are the two dollar columns, the two candidate counts, the cycle year, and the office-state code.

New Jersey (NJ) is the FEC office-state code. New York, Pennsylvania, and Delaware office states are other keys. Researchers who need named candidates should open the live New Jersey campaign-finance hub or the 2012 cycle hub, which are different pages with different grain. This tie stays aggregated.

Keep the two dollar columns labeled

Label every dollar figure when you reuse it. $41.8 million = New Jersey candidate receipts in 2012. $3.3 billion = U.S. candidate receipts in 2012. $3.2 billion = other office states in 2012. If a sentence uses one of those figures without the label, rewrite the sentence.

The four internal links exist so readers can leave the join for the matching hub. 2012 election cycle holds the national year. New Jersey campaign finance holds the state mix. All election cycles lists other windows. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. Source: FEC.gov.
