Georgia candidate fundraising — 2014 cycle

The 2014 cycle and Georgia as a two-key join

Georgia office-state candidates reported $74,816,425 in FEC.gov receipts for the 2014 cycle. That figure is Georgia candidate-committee receipts for federal office in office state GA during the 2014 cycle, as grouped on FEC.gov. The matching national book is $1,664,069,870 ($1.66 billion) across 1,671 candidates. Georgia is 4.5% of those cycle dollars and 3.8% of the cycle candidate roster. This page exists because the two dimensions meet. It is not a restatement of the 2014 cycle hub alone and not a restatement of the Georgia state hub across every cycle.

Georgia’s 2014 dollar share and Georgia’s 2014 candidate-share are different ratios. Neither ratio is a win-loss ranking. Sixty-three Georgia office-state candidates produced the 2014 cell; the cycle lists 1,671 candidates nationwide. Candidate receipts here are committee-side totals for the office-state filter. They are not independent expenditures, not a Schedule A donor directory, and not USAspending award dollars. The cycle hub lives at /election-cycles/2014/; the Georgia hub lives at /states/GA/. Every cycle is indexed at /election-cycles/, and sibling joins sit at /ties/.

Sixty-three Georgia candidates in 2014

Georgia accounts for 4.5% of 2014 cycle dollars and 3.8% of 2014 cycle candidates. Those two percentages need not match. A state can hold a larger share of listed candidates than of receipts, or the reverse. Sixty-three Georgia office-state candidates produced the 2014 cell; the cycle lists 1,671 candidates nationwide. Neither percentage is a ranking of winners. The remaining $1,589,253,445 stayed in other office states.

Georgia’s 2014 cell holds $74,816,425 ($74.8 million) from 63 office-state candidates. Dividing receipts by that candidate count gives an arithmetic mean of about $1,187,562 per listed candidate. That mean is a ratio of two FEC columns. It is not a median, not a typical itemized contribution, and not evidence that each campaign raised the same amount. The Georgia hub at /states/GA/ mixes cycles; this tie freezes 2014 only.

Georgia inside the 2014 national book

The 2014 cycle table on FEC.gov shows $1,664,069,870 in candidate receipts nationwide and 1,671 candidates. After removing Georgia, $1,589,253,445 and 1,608 candidates remain in other office states. Those remainder figures are arithmetic (cycle minus state). They are not a second FEC file. Opening only this tie would hide that remainder. The 2014 hub at /election-cycles/2014/ keeps the full book; /election-cycles/ lists every cycle; /ties/ lists other two-key joins.

Boundaries of the Georgia 2014 receipt table

This join does not count independent expenditures, party coordinated expenditures, or unitemized receipts that never entered the candidate-receipt aggregate. It does not name donors. It does not say FEC receipts funded federal awards on USAspending.gov; those are different datasets even when the geography string matches. Office state GA is the seat sought, not the mailing state of contributors. Correlation between a busy cycle and a large state cell is not causation and not an election-outcome claim. Quote $74,816,425 as Georgia in 2014, and quote $1,664,069,870 as the 2014 national total — never as each other.

How the 2014 and Georgia hubs differ from this tie

Read /states/GA/ for Georgia campaign-finance totals that mix cycles. Read /election-cycles/2014/ for the 2014 cycle across every office state. Read /election-cycles/ for the cycle index and /ties/ for other FEC two-dimension pages. This URL, Georgia × 2014, is only the overlap: 63 candidates and $74,816,425 in receipts, sourced to FEC.gov candidate receipts grouped by election cycle and office state.

Cite two lines, never one: 2014 Georgia office-state candidate receipts $74,816,425 from 63 candidates, and 2014 national candidate receipts $1,664,069,870 from 1,671 candidates. The first line is the join cell. The second is the cycle book. FEC.gov is the source for both. Canonical path: /ties/2014-georgia-candidate-receipts/.

Georgia 2014 is 63 candidates and $74,816,425. The 2014 cycle total is $1,664,069,870 across 1,671 candidates. A later FEC bulk file can move Georgia’s 2014 cell and the 2014 cycle book together; this snapshot stores $74,816,425 and $1,664,069,870 as harvested. Independent expenditures remain outside both columns. Donor names are not in this FEC grouping.

Questions

What did Georgia federal candidates raise in 2014?

$74,816,425 is FEC.gov candidate receipts for federal office in Georgia during the 2014 cycle. It is not the $1.66 billion national cycle total and not independent expenditures. Office state is the seat, not donor home address. The 63-candidate count is office state GA for that cycle only.

What is the 2014 national candidate-receipt total?

The 2014 cycle book on FEC.gov is $1,664,069,870 across 1,671 candidates nationwide. Georgia is 63 of those candidates and $74,816,425 of those receipts (4.5% of cycle dollars). That $1.66 billion figure is every office state, not Georgia alone.

Does this page name Georgia contributors?

No. This page is candidate committee receipts grouped by election cycle 2014 and office state GA. It does not name individual donors, does not sum PAC independent expenditures, and does not treat FEC receipts as USAspending awards. No donor names appear in the FEC.gov facts.

Where can I see other 2014 states?
