Who raised $78.7 million in Texas in 2014?

102 federal candidates with office state TX in cycle 2014, in aggregate. This packet does not list their names, parties, or offices. Inventing a candidate or donor name would exceed the facts. Use live candidate pages for names. This tie stays aggregated to office state and cycle.

Why is $1,664,069,869.80 on the Texas page?

Because this is a join. $1,664,069,869.80 is the national 2014 denominator that makes 4.7% computable. It is not additional Texas money. Texas money in 2014 remains $78,734,071.79. Cite the national figure only as the cycle total, never as the Texas office-state cell.

Does 102 include state-legislature candidates in Texas?

No. These are FEC candidate records for federal office, grouped by office state TX. Texas state-office campaigns file under state law, not in this FEC candidate-receipt join. 102 is the federal candidate count in the packet, not a legislature roster.

Where should I go next from this Texas 2014 tie?

Open the 2014 election cycle for the national year, Texas campaign finance for the all-cycle state mix, all election cycles for other windows, and all FEC ties for other two-dimension pages. Those four hrefs are the only internal links this packet authorizes. Sibling cycle-state slugs are other keys.

Where Texas sits inside the 2014 FEC cycle

Cycle 2014 and Texas (TX) are the two nouns this URL must keep together. Drop Texas and you are citing $1.7 billion from 1671 U.S. candidates. Drop 2014 and you are citing a state hub that still mixes other even-year windows. Keep both and the number is $78.7 million from 102 candidates.

4.7% names $78,734,071.79 as a share of $1,664,069,869.80. It does not name a share of Texas population, a share of House seats, or a share of itemized individual donors. Those denominators are absent. $1.6 billion is the complement inside the same 2014 cycle, other office states only.

Texas (TX) is the FEC office-state code. Oklahoma, New Mexico, Louisiana, and Arkansas office states remain on their own cycle-state pages. 2014 is a midterm two-year FEC window. Source: FEC.gov candidate receipts grouped by election cycle and office state. Not a claim about federal spending.

How FEC stores Texas as an office state

Texas (TX) in 2014 is one cell in a cycle-by-state grid. The cell value is $78,734,071.79. The cell's candidate count is 102. Other cells in the 2014 row sum to $1,585,335,798.01. This page publishes one cell, then explains the row total $1,664,069,869.80.

Because the packet has one state, this page does not rank Texas against Tennessee, Ohio, or any other office state. Rankings would require the other cells. Texas (TX) is the FEC office-state code. Oklahoma, New Mexico, Louisiana, and Arkansas office states remain on their own cycle-state pages. Office state is not a donor map.

Reading $1.7 billion as the 2014 denominator

National candidate volume in 2014 is 1671. Texas candidate volume is 102. Dollar counterparts are $1,664,069,869.80 and $78,734,071.79. Pair counts with dollars. A small candidate file can still hold a large dollar total if a few committees dominate; this packet does not prove that pattern, and it does not disprove it.

Do not mix state receipts with the cycle total

$78.7 million sits inside $1.7 billion the way a state cell sits inside a national row. Removing Texas does not make $78,734,071.79 equal $1,664,069,869.80. Removing other states does not make $1,664,069,869.80 equal $78,734,071.79. Citations should name the filter that was applied.

102 versus 1671 is the candidate-count analog of that nesting. 102 is a relatively large candidate file for this office state. Means $771,903 (Texas) and $995,853 (U.S.) stay attached to their denominators.

What FEC candidate receipts include here

Independent expenditures can dwarf or trail candidate receipts in a given state-cycle, and this packet does not say which. Super PAC and other independent-spend tables are other files. Mixing them into $78,734,071.79 would invent a number.

Federal awards in Texas are USAspending, not FEC. $78,734,071.79 does not pay for those awards. $1,664,069,869.80 does not pay for them either. Keep the statutes apart even though both can mention Texas and 2014.

Amended reports and live hubs

Candidate reports amend. A later 2014 extract can raise or lower $78,734,071.79 without this JSON file changing. Treat the live Texas hub and the live 2014 hub as current, and treat this prose as a labeled snapshot of packet facts: $78,734,071.79, 102, $1,664,069,869.80, 1671.

Texas (TX) is the FEC office-state code. Oklahoma, New Mexico, Louisiana, and Arkansas office states remain on their own cycle-state pages. Sibling cycle-state pages for other years or other office states are other slugs. Do not reuse $78,734,071.79 on those pages.

Texas in 2014 can be cited in one sentence without losing the join: office-state candidates in TX reported $78,734,071.79 on a file of 102 candidates, inside a national 2014 candidate-receipt total of $1,664,069,869.80 from 1671 candidates, for a dollar share of 4.7%. That sentence uses every packet dollar column once. A second sentence can add the complement $1,585,335,798.01 and the two means, $771,903 in Texas and $995,853 nationwide, as long as each mean keeps its own denominator. A third sentence should repeat the omissions: no donor names, no independent expenditures, no USAspending awards, no party split, no Senate-versus-House split. Texas (TX) is the FEC office-state code. Oklahoma, New Mexico, Louisiana, and Arkansas office states remain on their own cycle-state pages. The 2014 cycle is a closed even-year window in this extract; $78,734,071.79 is the stored Texas office-state total for that window. Those three sentences are still the same join. They are not a restatement of the Texas hub and they are not a restatement of the 2014 hub. Researchers who need named candidates must leave this URL for the live hubs. Researchers who need donor geography must leave for a donor join. This file stays on cycle 2014 and office state TX.
