This URL is a relationship page. Section one states the relationship. Later sections unpack the Nevada side, the 2016 side, the share, and the caveats. It is not a restatement of Nevada campaign finance across years, and it is not a restatement of the 2016 cycle across states.

Nevada (NV) is the FEC office-state code. Arizona, California, and Utah office states remain separate. A presidential cycle tag on 2016 does not explain $48.7 million. Independent expenditures are omitted. PAC-to-PAC transfers as a separate table are omitted. Federal spending awards are omitted. Source: FEC.gov.

Office state NV is not donor geography

Nevada's 2016 total of $48,728,040.84 is the state slice. The national parent set is $3,179,037,937.47. 1.5% names the slice as a share of the parent. $3,130,309,896.63 names the complement inside the same cycle. NV is the office state of the candidate, not a claim about Nevada elections for governor or legislature.

Use the state hub when the year does not matter. Use this tie when both Nevada and 2016 matter. Nevada (NV) is the FEC office-state code. Arizona, California, and Utah office states remain separate. Do not fold neighboring states into NV. Each office-state code is its own key.

Cycle 2016 is not the Nevada hub

The cycle dimension is the FEC even-year tag 2016 (presidential). Combined with Nevada, it yields $48,728,040.84 and 34 candidates. The national 2016 page still has every other office state. This page has one office state. Keep both nouns when citing: Nevada and 2016.

About $1.85 million per U.S. candidate is $3,179,037,937.47 divided by 1721. No median is in the packet. No party split is in the packet. No Senate-only or House-only subtotal is in the packet. Those omissions are intentional: the facts do not include them.

Dollar share is not candidate-count share

Inside cycle 2016, Nevada holds $48,728,040.84 and other office states hold $3,130,309,896.63. The cycle total is the sum: $3,179,037,937.47. 1.5% names the Nevada piece. 34 names the Nevada candidate file size. Mean about $1.43 million names $48,728,040.84/34. Four numbers, four jobs.

If a later FEC extract revises $48,728,040.84 or $3,179,037,937.47, the live hubs control. This prose is a snapshot of the packet facts. Amended candidate reports can move either side of the join.

Means, medians, and missing splits

Dollars ($48,728,040.84), candidates (34), cycle total ($3,179,037,937.47), remainder ($3,130,309,896.63), share (1.5%), Nevada mean ($1.43 million), U.S. mean ($1.85 million): those are the numeric claims. Dates in the packet are the cycle year 2016 only. No other dollar, count, or URL is used. Internal links stay on the four hrefs in the packet.

Amended FEC reports can change $48,728,040.84 after this snapshot. If the live Nevada hub or the live 2016 cycle hub disagrees with this prose, the newer FEC extract controls. This file is not a third disclosure system.

Public records, not accusations

Do not convert $48,728,040.84 into a statement about how Nevada voted in 2016. Candidate receipts are a filing stream. Most residents never appear as candidates. 34 records are the candidate file, not the electorate. 1.5% of the national cycle is not 1.5% of Nevada.

Readers sometimes arrive from a Nevada search and assume $3,179,037,937.47 is local, or arrive from a 2016 search and assume $48,728,040.84 is national. Both misreadings are prevented by keeping the office-state noun and the cycle noun in every dollar sentence. $48.7 million is local to office state NV in 2016. $3.2 billion is national for 2016. 34 is the Nevada candidate file. 1721 is the U.S. candidate file. Independent expenditures remain outside both files as used here. Federal spending awards remain outside both files. The 2016 cycle is a closed even-year window in this extract; $48,728,040.84 is the stored Nevada office-state total for that window. Nevada (NV) is the FEC office-state code. Arizona, California, and Utah office states remain separate. If this snapshot and a live hub diverge, the live FEC extract wins. This JSON object is a labeled copy of packet facts, not a parallel disclosure system and not a scoreboard of Nevada politics in 2016.

Questions

How much did Nevada candidates raise in the 2016 election cycle?

FEC candidate receipts for office state Nevada (NV) total $48,728,040.84 in the 2016 cycle, across 34 candidates. The national 2016 cycle totals $3,179,037,937.47 from 1721 candidates, so Nevada is 1.5% of that U.S. candidate-receipt stack. Figures are from FEC.gov cycle-by-office-state aggregates of candidate receipts only.

Is $3.2 billion the amount Nevada candidates raised in 2016?

No. $3,179,037,937.47 is the national 2016 candidate-receipt total. Nevada's office-state total in that cycle is $48,728,040.84. Other office states hold $3,130,309,896.63. Use the 2016 cycle hub for the U.S. figure and this tie page for the Nevada slice only. Independent expenditures are omitted from both totals as shown here.

Does office state NV mean the donors lived in Nevada?

No. Office state is the state of the federal seat on the candidate record. Donors can live anywhere. This join does not allocate the $48,728,040.84 by donor state, employer, or party. An NV office-state code is not a map of Nevada residents and is not a map of where the money was spent.

How many Nevada candidates are in the 2016 file?

34 candidate records sum to $48,728,040.84. That count is candidates, not unique donors. The arithmetic mean is about $1.43 million per candidate. Independent expenditures are not included. Unique-donor counts are not in these facts and are not invented here.
