Missouri candidate receipts in the 2016 cycle

Missouri office state × 2016 candidate receipts

Two filters are true at once: election cycle 2016, and office state MO (Missouri). Only rows that match both produce $38,036,323.18 from 28 candidates. The 2016 election-cycle hub still mixes every office state and therefore shows $3,179,037,937.47. The Missouri campaign-finance hub still mixes every cycle. $38,036,323.18 lives only at the intersection. A restatement of 2016 would still mix states. A restatement of Missouri 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 Missouri office-state candidate can come from any state. Missouri’s office-state code is MO. St. Louis or Kansas City donor geography is not this filter. 2016 is a presidential two-year FEC cycle. {sr} can mix 2015 and 2016 activity under one even-year tag. This join does not list donors, does not name candidates, and does not allocate $38,036,323.18 by House, Senate, or presidential line.

Twenty-eight Missouri office-state candidates produced $38,036,323.18. That is a thinner name count than many House-heavy fields. Mean receipts are about $1,358,440.11 per candidate. The national 2016 tally is 1,721 candidates. Missouri’s candidate count is 1.63% of the national candidate count, while its receipts are 1.20% of $3,179,037,937.47. Those two shares are not required to match. Mean receipts in the cell are about $1,358,440.11 per candidate ($38,036,323.18 ÷ 28). The national mean is about $1,847,203.91 ($3,179,037,937.47 ÷ 1,721). Means are arithmetic. They are not medians.

Missouri’s $38,036,323.18 versus lifetime state hubs

$38,036,323.18 is Missouri candidate receipts inside cycle 2016 only. It is not Missouri’s lifetime total across cycles, and it is not itemized individual giving by Missouri residents. Donor-city and occupation tables are other joins. Citing $3,179,037,937.47 as a Missouri figure mixes the national cycle hub into this cell. Citing $38,036,323.18 as the 2016 national total mixes the cell into the cycle hub.

28 is the candidate count attached to office state MO 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 Primary challengers, withdrawn filings, and general-election nominees can all sit in an FEC candidate count; this page does not split them.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 Missouri 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 of $3,179,037,937.47

$3,179,037,937.47 is the national 2016 candidate-receipt total across 1,721 candidates. Subtracting the Missouri cell leaves $3,141,001,614.29 in other office states. 1.20% is a dollar share of the national cycle, not a share of Electoral College votes, House seats, or population. 1.63% 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 $38,036,323.18 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.

Twenty-eight candidates and a presidential-year book

$38,036,323.18 ÷ $3,179,037,937.47 = 1.20%. $3,141,001,614.29 ÷ $3,179,037,937.47 = 98.80%. 28 ÷ 1,721 = 1.63%. Those identities use packet facts only. They are not voter shares and not proof that Missouri ‘won’ or ‘lost’ a money race. Do not add $38,036,323.18 to $3,179,037,937.47.

Keep the labels glued to the numbers. $38,036,323.18 always travels with Missouri, MO, 2016, and 28 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.

Missouri 2016 is not a donor-state rollup

This page does not rank Missouri 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 smaller candidate count does not mean a quieter state. It is a filing tally. The packet does not explain why 28 records appear.

Do not claim $38,036,323.18 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.
