2012 FEC cycle — Ohio office-state receipts

Both filters: 2012 and Ohio (OH)

Ohio candidates in 2012 reported $93,966,896.60. U.S. candidates in 2012 reported $3,267,855,820.57. Subtract and other office states hold $3,173,888,923.97. Divide and Ohio is 2.9% of the cycle. Count and the files are 57 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 Ohio looks across years. This tie answers only how Ohio looked inside 2012. 57 is a relatively large candidate file for this office state. Mean about $1.65 million per Ohio candidate uses $93,966,896.60 and 57 only.

The 2012 cycle is a closed even-year window in this extract; $93,966,896.60 is the stored Ohio office-state total for that window. Ohio (OH) is the FEC office-state code. Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky office states are not merged into OH. Do not add $93,966,896.60 to USAspending obligations for Ohio. Campaign receipts and federal awards are different datasets.

57 candidates seeking Ohio federal offices

What the Ohio side includes: candidate receipts tagged office state OH and cycle 2012, summing to $93,966,896.60 across 57 candidates. What it excludes: other cycles for Ohio, other office states for 2012, independent expenditures, and unitemized or non-candidate tables not in this aggregate.

Mean about $1.65 million should be quoted with both inputs. Dropping 57 turns the mean into an unsourced claim. Ohio (OH) is the FEC office-state code. Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky office states are not merged into OH. State-office campaign finance under Ohio law is a different disclosure system.

How 2012 national totals bound the Ohio figure

2012 national receipts of $3,267,855,820.57 are the ceiling this Ohio figure sits under. $93,966,896.60 cannot exceed $3,267,855,820.57 in a consistent extract; here it is 2.9% of the ceiling. $3.2 billion is the room between the Ohio 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 Ohio × 2012. Ohio (OH) is the FEC office-state code. Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky office states are not merged into OH.

2.9% is a cycle share, not a ranking

Share language that is allowed: Ohio office-state candidate receipts were 2.9% of U.S. candidate receipts in the 2012 cycle ($93,966,896.60 of $3,267,855,820.57). Share language that is not allowed: Ohio accounted for 2.9% of federal spending, 2.9% of donors, or 2.9% 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.

Ohio (OH) is the FEC office-state code. Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky office states are not merged into OH. Researchers who need named candidates should open the live Ohio 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. $94.0 million = Ohio 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. Ohio campaign finance holds the state mix. All election cycles lists other windows. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. Source: FEC.gov.

Readers sometimes arrive from a Ohio search and assume $3,267,855,820.57 is local, or arrive from a 2012 search and assume $93,966,896.60 is national. Both misreadings are prevented by keeping the office-state noun and the cycle noun in every dollar sentence. $94.0 million is local to office state OH in 2012. $3.3 billion is national for 2012. 57 is the Ohio 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; $93,966,896.60 is the stored Ohio office-state total for that window. Ohio (OH) is the FEC office-state code. Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky office states are not merged into OH. 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 Ohio politics in 2012.

Questions

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

The state hub mixes every cycle stored for office state OH. This tie keeps only 2012, where receipts are $93,966,896.60 from 57 candidates. If you need Ohio without a year filter, use the state hub. If you need Ohio 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 Ohio, where receipts are $93,966,896.60 from 57 candidates. The cycle hub is the parent row; this URL is one cell. Do not cite the parent total as the Ohio cell.

What does a mean of $1.65 million per Ohio candidate mean?

It is $93,966,896.60 divided by 57. 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 Ohio total a closed final number?

The 2012 cycle is a closed even-year window in this extract; $93,966,896.60 is the stored Ohio office-state total for that window. Amended candidate reports can still move $93,966,896.60. If the live Ohio 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.
