Midterm 2014 × Pennsylvania office state

Two filters are true at once: election cycle 2014, and office state PA (Pennsylvania). Only rows that match both produce $39,588,054.92 from 52 candidates. The 2014 election-cycle hub still mixes every office state and therefore shows $1,664,069,869.80. The Pennsylvania campaign-finance hub still mixes every cycle. $39,588,054.92 lives only at the intersection. A restatement of 2014 would still mix states. A restatement of Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania office-state candidate can come from any state. Pennsylvania’s office-state code is PA. Philadelphia or Pittsburgh as donor cities would be other joins. 2014 is a midterm two-year FEC window. Receipts dated 2013 can sit in the same cycle tag as 2014. This join does not list donors, does not name candidates, and does not allocate $39,588,054.92 by House, Senate, or presidential line.

Fifty-two Pennsylvania office-state candidates produced $39,588,054.92. Mean receipts are about $761,308.75 per candidate against a national mean near $995,852.70. The national 2014 tally is 1,671 candidates. Pennsylvania’s candidate count is 3.11% of the national candidate count, while its receipts are 2.38% of $1,664,069,869.80. Those two shares are not required to match. Mean receipts in the cell are about $761,308.75 per candidate ($39,588,054.92 ÷ 52). The national mean is about $995,852.70 ($1,664,069,869.80 ÷ 1,671). Means are arithmetic. They are not medians.

Pennsylvania’s $39,588,054.92 is a 2014 office-state cell

$39,588,054.92 is Pennsylvania candidate receipts inside cycle 2014 only. It is not Pennsylvania’s lifetime total across cycles, and it is not itemized individual giving by Pennsylvania residents. Donor-city and occupation tables are other joins. Citing $1,664,069,869.80 as a Pennsylvania figure mixes the national cycle hub into this cell. Citing $39,588,054.92 as the 2014 national total mixes the cell into the cycle hub.

52 is the candidate count attached to office state PA 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 Primary challengers, withdrawn filings, and general-election nominees can all sit in an FEC candidate count; this page does not split them.

The 2014 national book of $1,664,069,869.80

$1,664,069,869.80 is the national 2014 candidate-receipt total across 1,671 candidates. Subtracting the Pennsylvania cell leaves $1,624,481,814.88 in other office states. 2.38% is a dollar share of the national cycle, not a share of Electoral College votes, House seats, or population. 3.11% 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 $39,588,054.92 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.

Do not add Pennsylvania into the national 2014 sum

$39,588,054.92 ÷ $1,664,069,869.80 = 2.38%. $1,624,481,814.88 ÷ $1,664,069,869.80 = 97.62%. 52 ÷ 1,671 = 3.11%. Those identities use packet facts only. They are not voter shares and not proof that Pennsylvania ‘won’ or ‘lost’ a money race. Do not add $39,588,054.92 to $1,664,069,869.80.

Keep the labels glued to the numbers. $39,588,054.92 always travels with Pennsylvania, PA, 2014, and 52 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 midterm cell is not a Harrisburg budget

This page does not rank Pennsylvania 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. State-capitol appropriations and federal awards are not this table. $39,588,054.92 is FEC candidate receipts for office state PA in 2014 only.

Do not claim $39,588,054.92 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.
