New York federal candidates, 2012 FEC cycle

Reading $101.1 million as NY in cycle 2012

Headline number: $101,134,045.96 ($101.1 million). Candidate count: 96. National cycle receipts: $3,267,855,820.57 ($3.3 billion). National candidate count: 2025. Remainder outside New York: $3,166,721,774.61. Share of the 2012 cycle: 3.1%. Those quantities are the join. Everything else on this page explains what they are and are not.

New York in 2012 is not New York in every year and is not 2012 in every state. Mixing those frames is how a hub restatement sneaks in. The 96 candidates exist only at the intersection. An NY office-state code does not mean the receipts came from New York donors, and it does not mean the money funded federal contracts in New York.

New York (NY) is the FEC office-state code. New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania office states stay separate. FEC.gov stores cycle 2012 as a presidential even-year window. Use that label for dating the receipts, not for ranking New York against other states. Source: FEC.gov candidate receipts by cycle and office state.

Reading $101.1 million as an office-state book for 2012

The state dimension answers a different question than the national cycle. How much candidate-receipt money is stored under office state NY in cycle 2012? $101,134,045.96. How much of the U.S. 2012 candidate-receipt book is that? 3.1% ($101,134,045.96 of $3,267,855,820.57). The difference is $3,166,721,774.61 in other office states. Those are stack identities, not rankings.

New York (NY) is the FEC office-state code. New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania office states stay separate. Candidates who filed with a different office-state code are excluded from $101,134,045.96 even if they campaigned in New York media markets. Filers do not get recoded. This page does not invent their names.

National 2012 receipts versus the New York slice

Cycle 2012 tagged 2025 U.S. candidate records for a national sum of $3,267,855,820.57. New York is 96 of those candidates and $101,134,045.96 of those dollars. That is the cycle slice versus the state slice. It is a presidential window. It is not a ranking of New York among states, because this packet has one geography.

Quote $3.3 billion only as the national 2012 candidate-receipt total. Quote $101.1 million only as the New York office-state total inside that cycle. Swapping the labels is the main citation error this page is written to block.

The complement: $3.2 billion outside New York

The complement of the join inside the national cycle book is $3,166,721,774.61 (96.9%). That money is still cycle 2012; it is just not tagged office state NY. The join itself remains $101,134,045.96 / 96 candidates / New York. Keep the complement and the join distinct in citations.

3.1% is not a turnout rate, not a share of New York itemized individual dollars, and not a share of federal awards in New York. Those denominators are absent. Use only $3,267,855,820.57 when stating the cycle share.

Receipts, not independent expenditures

What the table includes: FEC candidate receipts with office state NY and cycle 2012, summing to $101,134,045.96 across 96 candidates, against a national cycle $3,267,855,820.57 from 2025 candidates. What it excludes: everything else. That exclusion list is how this page stays a join instead of a hub restatement.

About $1.05 million per New York candidate should never be quoted as a typical New York campaign. Typical would need a median and an office-type split. This extract has neither. 96 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

Citation template: office state New York (NY), election cycle 2012 (presidential), $101,134,045.96 in candidate receipts from 96 candidates, national cycle $3,267,855,820.57 from 2025 candidates, share 3.1%, remainder $3,166,721,774.61, New York mean about $1.05 million per candidate. Source: FEC.gov via LobbyVault cycle-state aggregates.

Then send the reader to the live 2012 election cycle page, the New York campaign-finance hub, all election cycles, and all FEC ties. If you need donor cuts of New York, those are other joins, not this file. This file stays on one office state and one cycle.

A compact worksheet for this pair starts with labels, not with a ranking. Label one: New York 2012 candidate receipts = $101,134,045.96. Label two: U.S. 2012 candidate receipts = $3,267,855,820.57. Label three: other office states in 2012 = $3,166,721,774.61. Label four: New York candidate count = 96. Label five: U.S. candidate count = 2025. Label six: dollar share = 3.1%. Nothing in that worksheet is a donor list. Nothing in it is a federal award. 96 is a relatively large candidate file for this office state. Mean receipts of about $1.05 million in New York use labels one and four only. Mean receipts of about $1.61 million nationwide use labels two and five only. Cross-wiring those labels invents a statistic. New York (NY) is the FEC office-state code. New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania office states stay separate. Cycle 2012 is a presidential window, which dates the worksheet and does not interpret it. Source: FEC.gov candidate receipts grouped by election cycle and office state.

Questions

How does New York in 2012 differ from the New York state hub?

The state hub mixes every cycle stored for office state NY. This tie keeps only 2012, where receipts are $101,134,045.96 from 96 candidates. If you need New York without a year filter, use the state hub. If you need New York in 2012 only, use this page. The two pages share a geography noun and different denominators.

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 New York, where receipts are $101,134,045.96 from 96 candidates. The cycle hub is the parent row; this URL is one cell. Do not cite the parent total as the New York cell.

What does a mean of $1.05 million per New York candidate mean?

It is $101,134,045.96 divided by 96. 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, so this page does not invent one.

Is the 2012 New York total a closed final number?

The 2012 cycle is a closed even-year window in this extract; $101,134,045.96 is the stored New York office-state total for that window. Amended candidate reports can still move $101,134,045.96. If the live New York hub or the live 2012 hub disagrees with this snapshot, use the newer FEC extract. This JSON file does not replace FEC.gov and is not a third disclosure system.
