Florida candidate receipts in the 2014 cycle

Florida’s 100-candidate midterm receipt cell

Two filters are true at once: election cycle 2014, and office state FL (Florida). Only rows that match both produce $62,424,309.46 from 100 candidates. The 2014 election-cycle hub still mixes every office state and therefore shows $1,664,069,869.80. The Florida campaign-finance hub still mixes every cycle. $62,424,309.46 lives only at the intersection. A restatement of 2014 would still mix states. A restatement of Florida 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 Florida office-state candidate can come from any state. Florida’s office-state code is FL. Miami or Tampa as donor cities would be other joins. 2014 is a midterm two-year FEC window. A hundred-record candidate count still has no published names here. This join does not list donors, does not name candidates, and does not allocate $62,424,309.46 by House, Senate, or presidential line.

One hundred Florida office-state candidates produced $62,424,309.46. Mean receipts are about $624,243.09 per candidate. A thick roster can mix many House lines; the packet does not say so explicitly. The national 2014 tally is 1,671 candidates. Florida’s candidate count is 5.98% of the national candidate count, while its receipts are 3.75% of $1,664,069,869.80. Those two shares are not required to match. Mean receipts in the cell are about $624,243.09 per candidate ($62,424,309.46 ÷ 100). The national mean is about $995,852.70 ($1,664,069,869.80 ÷ 1,671). Means are arithmetic. They are not medians.

Florida’s $62,424,309.46 is a 2014 office-state total

$62,424,309.46 is Florida candidate receipts inside cycle 2014 only. It is not Florida’s lifetime total across cycles, and it is not itemized individual giving by Florida residents. Donor-city and occupation tables are other joins. Citing $1,664,069,869.80 as a Florida figure mixes the national cycle hub into this cell. Citing $62,424,309.46 as the 2014 national total mixes the cell into the cycle hub.

100 is the candidate count attached to office state FL 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 Primary challengers, withdrawn filings, and general-election nominees can all sit in an FEC candidate count; this page does not split them.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 Florida 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 Florida cell leaves $1,601,645,560.34 in other office states. 3.75% is a dollar share of the national cycle, not a share of Electoral College votes, House seats, or population. 5.98% 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 $62,424,309.46 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.

One hundred FL candidates against a midterm book

$62,424,309.46 ÷ $1,664,069,869.80 = 3.75%. $1,601,645,560.34 ÷ $1,664,069,869.80 = 96.25%. 100 ÷ 1,671 = 5.98%. Those identities use packet facts only. They are not voter shares and not proof that Florida ‘won’ or ‘lost’ a money race. Do not add $62,424,309.46 to $1,664,069,869.80.

Keep the labels glued to the numbers. $62,424,309.46 always travels with Florida, FL, 2014, and 100 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.

A large Florida cell is not a ranking trophy

This page does not rank Florida 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 call Florida the ‘winner’ of 2014 money. Other states are other packets. This file only certifies FL × 2014: $62,424,309.46, 100 candidates.

Do not claim $62,424,309.46 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.
