Michigan candidate receipts in the 2016 cycle

Michigan office state inside the 2016 window

Two filters are true at once: election cycle 2016, and office state MI (Michigan). Only rows that match both produce $32,529,131.52 from 38 candidates. The 2016 election-cycle hub still mixes every office state and therefore shows $3,179,037,937.47. The Michigan campaign-finance hub still mixes every cycle. $32,529,131.52 lives only at the intersection. A restatement of 2016 would still mix states. A restatement of Michigan 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 Michigan office-state candidate can come from any state. Michigan’s office-state code is MI. This 2016 extract must not inherit dollar figures from another Michigan cycle packet. 2016 is a presidential two-year FEC cycle. Carry-over from 2008 or 2010 Michigan pages would mix cycle keys. This join does not list donors, does not name candidates, and does not allocate $32,529,131.52 by House, Senate, or presidential line.

Thirty-eight Michigan office-state candidates produced $32,529,131.52. Mean receipts are about $856,029.78 per candidate. The packet for this file has no other-year Michigan totals. The national 2016 tally is 1,721 candidates. Michigan’s candidate count is 2.21% of the national candidate count, while its receipts are 1.02% of $3,179,037,937.47. Those two shares are not required to match. Mean receipts in the cell are about $856,029.78 per candidate ($32,529,131.52 ÷ 38). The national mean is about $1,847,203.91 ($3,179,037,937.47 ÷ 1,721). Means are arithmetic. They are not medians.

Michigan 2016: $32,529,131.52 on the office-state line

$32,529,131.52 is Michigan candidate receipts inside cycle 2016 only. It is not Michigan’s lifetime total across cycles, and it is not itemized individual giving by Michigan residents. Donor-city and occupation tables are other joins. Citing $3,179,037,937.47 as a Michigan figure mixes the national cycle hub into this cell. Citing $32,529,131.52 as the 2016 national total mixes the cell into the cycle hub.

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 Primary challengers, withdrawn filings, and general-election nominees can all sit in an FEC candidate count; this page does not split them.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

National 2016 receipts remain $3,179,037,937.47

$3,179,037,937.47 is the national 2016 candidate-receipt total across 1,721 candidates. Subtracting the Michigan cell leaves $3,146,508,805.95 in other office states. 1.02% is a dollar share of the national cycle, not a share of Electoral College votes, House seats, or population. 2.21% 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 $32,529,131.52 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.

This is not the 2008 or 2010 Michigan cell

This page does not rank Michigan 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. Cite 2016 facts only: $32,529,131.52, 38 candidates, national $3,179,037,937.47 and 1,721 candidates. Other Michigan even years need their own pages.

Do not claim $32,529,131.52 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.
