New Jersey candidate fundraising — 2014 cycle

The 2014 cycle and New Jersey as a two-key join

New Jersey office-state candidates reported $57,720,935 in FEC.gov receipts for the 2014 cycle. That figure is New Jersey candidate-committee receipts for federal office in office state NJ 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. New Jersey is 3.5% of those cycle dollars and 3.3% 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 New Jersey state hub across every cycle.

New Jersey’s 2014 dollar share is 3.5% of the $1.66 billion cycle book. Quote $57,720,935 as the state cell and $1,664,069,870 as the cycle total — never as each other. Fifty-five New Jersey 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 New Jersey hub lives at /states/NJ/. Every cycle is indexed at /election-cycles/, and sibling joins sit at /ties/.

Fifty-five New Jersey candidates in 2014

New Jersey accounts for 3.5% of 2014 cycle dollars and 3.3% 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. Fifty-five New Jersey office-state candidates produced the 2014 cell; the cycle lists 1,671 candidates nationwide. Neither percentage is a ranking of winners. The remaining $1,606,348,935 stayed in other office states.

New Jersey’s 2014 cell holds $57,720,935 ($57.7 million) from 55 office-state candidates. Dividing receipts by that candidate count gives an arithmetic mean of about $1,049,472 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 New Jersey hub at /states/NJ/ mixes cycles; this tie freezes 2014 only.

New Jersey 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 New Jersey, $1,606,348,935 and 1,616 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 New Jersey 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 NJ 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 $57,720,935 as New Jersey in 2014, and quote $1,664,069,870 as the 2014 national total — never as each other.

Cite two lines, never one: 2014 New Jersey office-state candidate receipts $57,720,935 from 55 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-new-jersey-candidate-receipts/.

Questions

What did New Jersey federal candidates raise in 2014?

$57,720,935 is FEC.gov candidate receipts for federal office in New Jersey 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 55-candidate count is office state NJ 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. New Jersey is 55 of those candidates and $57,720,935 of those receipts (3.5% of cycle dollars). That $1.66 billion figure is every office state, not New Jersey alone.

Does this page name New Jersey contributors?

No. This page is candidate committee receipts grouped by election cycle 2014 and office state NJ. 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.
