North Carolina candidate fundraising — 2014 cycle

The 2014 cycle meeting North Carolina office state

North Carolina office-state candidates reported $59,019,006 in FEC.gov receipts inside the 2014 cycle table. That figure is North Carolina candidate-committee receipts for federal office in office state NC 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. North Carolina is 3.5% of those cycle dollars and 3.9% 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 North Carolina state hub across every cycle.

The 2014 figures are the FEC.gov grouping for that completed cycle. Do not overwrite them with the 2026 North Carolina cell. Sixty-six North Carolina office-state candidates are the roster behind that dollar 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 North Carolina hub lives at /states/NC/. Every cycle is indexed at /election-cycles/, and sibling joins sit at /ties/.

North Carolina’s 66-candidate 2014 receipt cell

North Carolina’s 2014 cell holds $59,019,006 ($59.0 million) from 66 office-state candidates. Dividing receipts by that candidate count gives an arithmetic mean of about $894,227 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 North Carolina hub at /states/NC/ mixes cycles; this tie freezes 2014 only.

National 2014 receipts beside North Carolina

The 2014 cycle table on FEC.gov shows $1,664,069,870 in candidate receipts nationwide and 1,671 candidates. After removing North Carolina, $1,605,050,864 and 1,605 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.

What North Carolina 2014 receipts are not

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 NC 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 $59,019,006 as North Carolina in 2014, and quote $1,664,069,870 as the 2014 national total — never as each other.

Office state on this page is the state of the federal office. A Senate or House candidate listed with office state NC enters the North Carolina cell for 2014 even if some receipts were raised out of state. A donor who lives in North Carolina and gives to a different office state does not enter this cell by residence. The North Carolina hub at /states/NC/ is the broader state view; this tie freezes one cycle.

Using the 2014 cycle hub and North Carolina hub

Read /states/NC/ for North Carolina 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, North Carolina × 2014, is only the overlap: 66 candidates and $59,019,006 in receipts, sourced to FEC.gov candidate receipts grouped by election cycle and office state.

Cite two lines, never one: 2014 North Carolina office-state candidate receipts $59,019,006 from 66 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-north-carolina-candidate-receipts/.

North Carolina’s 66 candidates are the office-state count for 2014. Do not read the North Carolina cell as the 2014 national total. A later FEC bulk file can move North Carolina’s 2014 cell and the 2014 cycle book together; this snapshot stores $59,019,006 and $1,664,069,870 as harvested. Independent expenditures remain outside both columns. Donor names are not in this FEC grouping.

Questions

How much did North Carolina federal candidates raise in 2014?

$59,019,006 is FEC.gov candidate receipts for federal office in North Carolina 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. Quote the North Carolina cell separately from the $1.66 billion cycle book.

What is the 2014 national candidate-receipt total here?

The 2014 cycle book on FEC.gov is $1,664,069,870 across 1,671 candidates nationwide. North Carolina is 66 of those candidates and $59,019,006 of those receipts (3.5% of cycle dollars). That cycle total includes every office state, not North Carolina alone.

Is this a North Carolina donor directory for 2014?

No. This page is candidate committee receipts grouped by election cycle 2014 and office state NC. It does not name individual donors, does not sum PAC independent expenditures, and does not treat FEC receipts as USAspending awards. The page publishes candidate-receipt aggregates, not contributor names.

Where do I compare other 2014 states?

Use /election-cycles/2014/ for the 2014 national cycle hub and /states/NC/ for North Carolina across cycles. All election cycles live at /election-cycles/. Sibling cycle-state joins live at /ties/. All FEC ties lists sibling cycle–state pages.
