Arkansas candidate receipts in the 2014 cycle

A short Arkansas candidate list in cycle 2014

Two filters are true at once: election cycle 2014, and office state AR (Arkansas). Only rows that match both produce $34,655,600.95 from 14 candidates. The 2014 election-cycle hub still mixes every office state and therefore shows $1,664,069,869.80. The Arkansas campaign-finance hub still mixes every cycle. $34,655,600.95 lives only at the intersection. A restatement of 2014 would still mix states. A restatement of Arkansas would still mix years.

Office state is the geography of the federal seat on the FEC candidate master, not the donor’s mailing address. Money raised by a Arkansas office-state candidate can come from any state. Arkansas’s office-state code is AR. This 2014 page is a different cycle key from any other Arkansas even-year extract. 2014 is a midterm two-year FEC window. A short candidate list does not shrink the national {cr} denominator. This join does not list donors, does not name candidates, and does not allocate $34,655,600.95 by House, Senate, or presidential line.

Fourteen Arkansas office-state candidates produced $34,655,600.95. Mean receipts are about $2,475,400.07 per candidate — a high ratio on a short roster, not a typical-campaign budget and not a published name list. The national 2014 tally is 1,671 candidates. Arkansas’s candidate count is 0.84% of the national candidate count, while its receipts are 2.08% of $1,664,069,869.80. Those two shares are not required to match. Mean receipts in the cell are about $2,475,400.07 per candidate ($34,655,600.95 ÷ 14). The national mean is about $995,852.70 ($1,664,069,869.80 ÷ 1,671). Means are arithmetic. They are not medians.

Arkansas’s $34,655,600.95 on fourteen office-state records

$34,655,600.95 is Arkansas candidate receipts inside cycle 2014 only. It is not Arkansas’s lifetime total across cycles, and it is not itemized individual giving by Arkansas residents. Donor-city and occupation tables are other joins. Citing $1,664,069,869.80 as a Arkansas figure mixes the national cycle hub into this cell. Citing $34,655,600.95 as the 2014 national total mixes the cell into the cycle hub.

14 is the candidate count attached to office state AR in 2014. Names are not in the packet and are not invented. Primary challengers, withdrawn filings, and general-election nominees can all sit in an FEC candidate count; this page does not split them. Use the Arkansas state hub without a year for the state overlay; use the 2014 cycle hub without a state for the national overlay; use this URL for the join.

National 2014 receipts of $1,664,069,869.80

$1,664,069,869.80 is the national 2014 candidate-receipt total across 1,671 candidates. Subtracting the Arkansas cell leaves $1,629,414,268.85 in other office states. 2.08% is a dollar share of the national cycle, not a share of Electoral College votes, House seats, or population. 0.84% is a candidate-count share only. 2014 is a midterm two-year FEC window in calendar terms; that label does not split $1,664,069,869.80 by office type.

The 2014 cycle page still includes every other state. Independent expenditures, PAC-to-PAC transfers, and unitemized receipts are other FEC tables. They are not mixed into $34,655,600.95 or $1,664,069,869.80. Federal contract and grant amounts live in USAspending, a different dataset. Sharing a calendar year does not turn these receipts into awards.

High mean, short roster, still not a typical race

$34,655,600.95 ÷ $1,664,069,869.80 = 2.08%. $1,629,414,268.85 ÷ $1,664,069,869.80 = 97.92%. 14 ÷ 1,671 = 0.84%. Those identities use packet facts only. They are not voter shares and not proof that Arkansas ‘won’ or ‘lost’ a money race. Do not add $34,655,600.95 to $1,664,069,869.80.

Keep the labels glued to the numbers. $34,655,600.95 always travels with Arkansas, AR, 2014, and 14 candidates. $1,664,069,869.80 always travels with the national 2014 cycle and 1,671 candidates. Source: FEC.gov candidate receipts grouped by election cycle and office state.

Fourteen names are not published here

This page does not rank Arkansas against other states, does not score votes, and does not treat receipts as cash on hand. Correlation is not causation. A two-column match is bookkeeping. Candidate names, donor names, and party splits are absent from the facts. Do not invent the fourteen names. Do not assume each record is a Senate seat. Office type is unpublished.

Do not claim $34,655,600.95 funded federal awards. Do not add Super PAC independent expenditures to Form 3 candidate receipts. Amended reports can move either total. If live hubs disagree with this extract, the newer FEC file controls.
