Michigan candidate fundraising — 2014 cycle

Michigan office state × the 2014 FEC cycle

Michigan office-state candidates reported $60,919,921 in FEC.gov receipts in the 2014 cycle table. That figure is Michigan candidate-committee receipts for federal office in office state MI 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. Michigan is 3.7% of those cycle dollars and 3.2% 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 Michigan state hub across every cycle.

Dividing $60,919,921 by 53 yields an arithmetic mean per Michigan 2014 candidate. That mean is not a median. Fifty-three Michigan office-state candidates populate the cell against 1,671 candidates in the 2014 cycle table. 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 Michigan hub lives at /states/MI/. Every cycle is indexed at /election-cycles/, and sibling joins sit at /ties/.

Fifty-three Michigan candidates in the 2014 cell

Michigan’s 2014 cell holds $60,919,921 ($60.9 million) from 53 office-state candidates. Dividing receipts by that candidate count gives an arithmetic mean of about $1,149,432 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 Michigan hub at /states/MI/ mixes cycles; this tie freezes 2014 only.

Michigan’s slice of 2014 national receipts

The 2014 cycle table on FEC.gov shows $1,664,069,870 in candidate receipts nationwide and 1,671 candidates. After removing Michigan, $1,603,149,949 and 1,618 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.

Michigan 2014 receipts are not awards or IEs

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 MI 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 $60,919,921 as Michigan in 2014, and quote $1,664,069,870 as the 2014 national total — never as each other.

Opening Michigan and 2014 without collapsing them

Read /states/MI/ for Michigan 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, Michigan × 2014, is only the overlap: 53 candidates and $60,919,921 in receipts, sourced to FEC.gov candidate receipts grouped by election cycle and office state.

Cite two lines, never one: 2014 Michigan office-state candidate receipts $60,919,921 from 53 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-michigan-candidate-receipts/.

Michigan’s 2014 cell is 53 candidates and $60,919,921. The cycle book remains $1,664,069,870 across 1,671 candidates. A later FEC bulk file can move Michigan’s 2014 cell and the 2014 cycle book together; this snapshot stores $60,919,921 and $1,664,069,870 as harvested. Independent expenditures remain outside both columns. Donor names are not in this FEC grouping.

Office state MI is a federal-seat code on candidate filings, not a contributor ZIP roll-up and not a state-office ethics filing. 53 candidates produced $60,919,921 inside 2014. Other office states hold the remaining $1,603,149,949 of the $1.66 billion cycle book. All FEC ties at /ties/ lists sibling cycle-state pages so this overlap is not mistaken for the full Michigan hub.
