New Hampshire 2016 cycle candidate fundraising

Office state New Hampshire inside the 2016 FEC cycle

Cycle 2016 and New Hampshire (NH) are the two nouns this URL must keep together. Drop New Hampshire and you are citing $3.2 billion from 1721 U.S. candidates. Drop 2016 and you are citing a state hub that still mixes other even-year windows. Keep both and the number is $41.9 million from 13 candidates.

1.3% names $41,913,967.27 as a share of $3,179,037,937.47. It does not name a share of New Hampshire population, a share of House seats, or a share of itemized individual donors. Those denominators are absent. $3.1 billion is the complement inside the same 2016 cycle, other office states only.

New Hampshire (NH) is the FEC office-state code. Maine, Vermont, and Massachusetts office states remain separate keys. 2016 is a presidential 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 New Hampshire as an office state

New Hampshire (NH) in 2016 is one cell in a cycle-by-state grid. The cell value is $41,913,967.27. The cell's candidate count is 13. Other cells in the 2016 row sum to $3,137,123,970.20. This page publishes one cell, then explains the row total $3,179,037,937.47.

Because the packet has one state, this page does not rank New Hampshire against Tennessee, Ohio, or any other office state. Rankings would require the other cells. New Hampshire (NH) is the FEC office-state code. Maine, Vermont, and Massachusetts office states remain separate keys. Office state is not a donor map.

Reading $3.2 billion as the 2016 denominator

National candidate volume in 2016 is 1721. New Hampshire candidate volume is 13. Dollar counterparts are $3,179,037,937.47 and $41,913,967.27. 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

$41.9 million sits inside $3.2 billion the way a state cell sits inside a national row. Removing New Hampshire does not make $41,913,967.27 equal $3,179,037,937.47. Removing other states does not make $3,179,037,937.47 equal $41,913,967.27. Citations should name the filter that was applied.

13 versus 1721 is the candidate-count analog of that nesting. 13 is a relatively small candidate file for a statewide federal slate. Means $3.22 million (New Hampshire) and $1.85 million (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 $41,913,967.27 would invent a number.

Federal awards in New Hampshire are USAspending, not FEC. $41,913,967.27 does not pay for those awards. $3,179,037,937.47 does not pay for them either. Keep the statutes apart even though both can mention New Hampshire and 2016.

Amended reports and live hubs

Candidate reports amend. A later 2016 extract can raise or lower $41,913,967.27 without this JSON file changing. Treat the live New Hampshire hub and the live 2016 hub as current, and treat this prose as a labeled snapshot of packet facts: $41,913,967.27, 13, $3,179,037,937.47, 1721.

New Hampshire (NH) is the FEC office-state code. Maine, Vermont, and Massachusetts office states remain separate keys. Sibling cycle-state pages for other years or other office states are other slugs. Do not reuse $41,913,967.27 on those pages.

Readers sometimes arrive from a New Hampshire search and assume $3,179,037,937.47 is local, or arrive from a 2016 search and assume $41,913,967.27 is national. Both misreadings are prevented by keeping the office-state noun and the cycle noun in every dollar sentence. $41.9 million is local to office state NH in 2016. $3.2 billion is national for 2016. 13 is the New Hampshire 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; $41,913,967.27 is the stored New Hampshire office-state total for that window. New Hampshire (NH) is the FEC office-state code. Maine, Vermont, and Massachusetts office states remain separate keys. 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 New Hampshire politics in 2016.
