South Carolina candidate receipts in the 2014 cycle

South Carolina (SC) × cycle 2014 receipts

Two filters are true at once: election cycle 2014, and office state SC (South Carolina). Only rows that match both produce $35,316,937.31 from 42 candidates. The 2014 election-cycle hub still mixes every office state and therefore shows $1,664,069,869.80. The South Carolina campaign-finance hub still mixes every cycle. $35,316,937.31 lives only at the intersection. A restatement of 2014 would still mix states. A restatement of South Carolina 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 South Carolina office-state candidate can come from any state. South Carolina’s office-state code is SC. Precinct-level primary results are not attached to {sr}. 2014 is a midterm two-year FEC window. Nomination dates do not change the cycle tag on these receipts. This join does not list donors, does not name candidates, and does not allocate $35,316,937.31 by House, Senate, or presidential line.

Forty-two South Carolina office-state candidates produced $35,316,937.31. Mean receipts are about $840,879.46 per candidate against a national mean near $995,852.70. The national 2014 tally is 1,671 candidates. South Carolina’s candidate count is 2.51% of the national candidate count, while its receipts are 2.12% of $1,664,069,869.80. Those two shares are not required to match. Mean receipts in the cell are about $840,879.46 per candidate ($35,316,937.31 ÷ 42). The national mean is about $995,852.70 ($1,664,069,869.80 ÷ 1,671). Means are arithmetic. They are not medians.

South Carolina’s $35,316,937.31 stays on the 2014 state line

$35,316,937.31 is South Carolina candidate receipts inside cycle 2014 only. It is not South Carolina’s lifetime total across cycles, and it is not itemized individual giving by South Carolina residents. Donor-city and occupation tables are other joins. Citing $1,664,069,869.80 as a South Carolina figure mixes the national cycle hub into this cell. Citing $35,316,937.31 as the 2014 national total mixes the cell into the cycle hub.

42 is the candidate count attached to office state SC 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 Primary challengers, withdrawn filings, and general-election nominees can all sit in an FEC candidate count; this page does not split them. Use the South Carolina state hub without a year for the state overlay; use the 2014 cycle hub without a state for the national overlay; use this URL for the join.

The 2014 national denominator $1,664,069,869.80

$1,664,069,869.80 is the national 2014 candidate-receipt total across 1,671 candidates. Subtracting the South Carolina cell leaves $1,628,752,932.49 in other office states. 2.12% is a dollar share of the national cycle, not a share of Electoral College votes, House seats, or population. 2.51% 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 $35,316,937.31 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.

SC dollar share is not a primary calendar

$35,316,937.31 ÷ $1,664,069,869.80 = 2.12%. $1,628,752,932.49 ÷ $1,664,069,869.80 = 97.88%. 42 ÷ 1,671 = 2.51%. Those identities use packet facts only. They are not voter shares and not proof that South Carolina ‘won’ or ‘lost’ a money race. Do not add $35,316,937.31 to $1,664,069,869.80.

Keep the labels glued to the numbers. $35,316,937.31 always travels with South Carolina, SC, 2014, and 42 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.

Early-primary folklore is not in the facts

This page does not rank South Carolina 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. Do not describe $35,316,937.31 as ‘primary money’ or ‘runoff money.’ The packet has one cycle total and one candidate count.

Do not claim $35,316,937.31 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.
