Indiana candidate receipts in the 2016 cycle

2016 cycle receipts tagged to Indiana offices

Two filters are true at once: election cycle 2016, and office state IN (Indiana). Only rows that match both produce $40,566,956.82 from 39 candidates. The 2016 election-cycle hub still mixes every office state and therefore shows $3,179,037,937.47. The Indiana campaign-finance hub still mixes every cycle. $40,566,956.82 lives only at the intersection. A restatement of 2016 would still mix states. A restatement of Indiana 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 Indiana office-state candidate can come from any state. Indiana’s two-letter office-state key is IN. Donor ZIP codes in Indianapolis or Gary are a different dimension. 2016 is a presidential two-year FEC cycle. Both years of the window can sit inside {sr}. This join does not list donors, does not name candidates, and does not allocate $40,566,956.82 by House, Senate, or presidential line.

Thirty-nine Indiana office-state candidates underlie $40,566,956.82. Mean receipts in the cell are about $1,040,178.38 per candidate. That mean is arithmetic, not a typical district budget. The national 2016 tally is 1,721 candidates. Indiana’s candidate count is 2.27% of the national candidate count, while its receipts are 1.28% of $3,179,037,937.47. Those two shares are not required to match. Mean receipts in the cell are about $1,040,178.38 per candidate ($40,566,956.82 ÷ 39). The national mean is about $1,847,203.91 ($3,179,037,937.47 ÷ 1,721). Means are arithmetic. They are not medians.

Indiana office-state receipts versus the national 2016 sum

$40,566,956.82 is Indiana candidate receipts inside cycle 2016 only. It is not Indiana’s lifetime total across cycles, and it is not itemized individual giving by Indiana residents. Donor-city and occupation tables are other joins. Citing $3,179,037,937.47 as a Indiana figure mixes the national cycle hub into this cell. Citing $40,566,956.82 as the 2016 national total mixes the cell into the cycle hub.

39 is the candidate count attached to office state IN in 2016. 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 Primary challengers, withdrawn filings, and general-election nominees can all sit in an FEC candidate count; this page does not split them.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 Indiana state hub without a year for the state overlay; use the 2016 cycle hub without a state for the national overlay; use this URL for the join.

What $3,179,037,937.47 counts in cycle 2016

$3,179,037,937.47 is the national 2016 candidate-receipt total across 1,721 candidates. Subtracting the Indiana cell leaves $3,138,470,980.65 in other office states. 1.28% is a dollar share of the national cycle, not a share of Electoral College votes, House seats, or population. 2.27% is a candidate-count share only. 2016 is a presidential two-year FEC window in calendar terms; that label does not split $3,179,037,937.47 by office type.

The 2016 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 $40,566,956.82 or $3,179,037,937.47. Federal contract and grant amounts live in USAspending, a different dataset. Sharing a calendar year does not turn these receipts into awards.

A 2016 Indiana percentage is not a vote share

$40,566,956.82 ÷ $3,179,037,937.47 = 1.28%. $3,138,470,980.65 ÷ $3,179,037,937.47 = 98.72%. 39 ÷ 1,721 = 2.27%. Those identities use packet facts only. They are not voter shares and not proof that Indiana ‘won’ or ‘lost’ a money race. Do not add $40,566,956.82 to $3,179,037,937.47.

Keep the labels glued to the numbers. $40,566,956.82 always travels with Indiana, IN, 2016, and 39 candidates. $3,179,037,937.47 always travels with the national 2016 cycle and 1,721 candidates. Source: FEC.gov candidate receipts grouped by election cycle and office state.

Indiana 2016 receipts are not federal awards

This page does not rank Indiana 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. A presidential-year tag does not mean every dollar in $40,566,956.82 is a presidential committee. The packet does not split office type.

Do not claim $40,566,956.82 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.
