Florida office state in the 2018 cycle

$213,044,539.36 requires both keys

$213,044,539.36 is already inside $2,698,163,707.14. The cycle book is the parent; the office-state filter is the subset. 7.9% states the dollar subset. 6.1% states the candidate-record subset (147 of 2418). Quote Florida and 2018 whenever you quote $213,044,539.36.

This is a cycle × office-state page. City, occupation, and committee cuts are other joins. This file stays on one cycle and one office state.

Cycle 2018 is a midterm window. No candidate names. Mean about $1,449,282.58 per Florida candidate record is $213,044,539.36 divided by 147. Source: FEC.gov.

Florida versus the national 2018 hub

The national 2018 hub still includes every other office state. $213,044,539.36 is none of that mix except the Florida cell. Cite the cell as a cell.

Open Florida campaign finance for other years. Open the 2018 election cycle hub for other states. Open this page for $213,044,539.36 only.

Candidate receipts, not independent expenditures

Source note excludes independent expenditures. $213,044,539.36 is candidate receipts. Super PAC spending on a different schedule is outside this join even when the same cycle year appears in another table.

Cite FEC.gov. Live 2018 filings can show additional schedules. This JSON copies only the cycle × office-state candidate-receipt aggregate in the packet. Not a claim about federal spending.

Packet slug 2018-florida-candidate-receipts is the LobbyVault filename for this 2018 × Florida join. Canonical path is /ties/2018-florida-candidate-receipts/. Overlay the cycle hub and the state hub; do not treat either hub as $213,044,539.36.

Cycle 2018 (midterm) plus office state FL is the two-part key behind $213,044,539.36. Drop the cycle and the page becomes a multi-year state hub. Drop the state and the page becomes the national cycle hub of $2,698,163,707.14. Keep both.

Keep both join sides in every citation of the headline total. This /ties/ page is a snapshot of packet facts, not a substitute for live FEC.gov bulk files. Amended reports can move either side of the join; the newer extract controls. Internal links stay on the packet hrefs only. Unitemized activity and independent expenditures remain outside these totals.

Quotients use only packet totals

Only packet totals enter the quotients: $213,044,539.36, $2,698,163,707.14, 147, 2418. Cycle 2018 labels the parent. Office state FL labels the subset. That is the entire percentage set.

Source: FEC.gov. If a later extract revises any integer, recompute 7.9% and 6.1% from the new pair. Do not freeze the percentages after the dollars move.

Recompute the dollar share from the raw figures: 213,044,539.36 divided by 2,698,163,707.14 is 7.9%. The complement 2,485,119,167.78 is $2,485,119,167.78, which is 92.1% of the national 2018 book. Candidate share uses 147 / 2418.

FEC candidate receipts are not USAspending obligations. $213,044,539.36 has no award count beside it in this packet. Do not fold $213,044,539.36 into federal spending in Florida. Different statutes, different forms, different tables.

Means without medians

Mean about $1,449,282.58 omits a median because medians are not in the packet. National mean about $1,115,865.88 omits a median for the same reason. Quote means with their inputs or skip them.

147 records can be fewer people or more committees than campaigns — both directions are possible and neither is measured here beyond the published count. Source: FEC.gov.

Florida campaign-finance coverage still includes every other cycle. This tie does not. Researchers who need a multi-year mix should leave this URL and open the Florida hub. Researchers who need Florida in 2018 should stay here.

Do not invent candidate names. 147 is a record count. Mean about $1,449,282.58 is arithmetic. The packet published cycle, state, $213,044,539.36, 147, $2,698,163,707.14, and 2418.

Source note and live filings

Source note: FEC.gov candidate receipts grouped by election cycle and office state. Not independent expenditures. Not a claim about federal spending. Live FEC filings can add schedules this join does not copy.

If the live Florida page or the live 2018 page disagrees with $213,044,539.36 or $2,698,163,707.14, the newer extract controls. This file is a packet snapshot, not a parallel disclosure system.

Candidate receipts are the only money in $213,044,539.36 and $2,698,163,707.14. Independent expenditures and USAspending awards are other files. Mixing those files with this join would invent a total the packet does not contain.

If a later extract revises $213,044,539.36 or $2,698,163,707.14, the live Florida hub and the live 2018 hub control. This file is a packet snapshot, not a parallel disclosure system. Amended FEC reports can move either side of the join.

Questions

How much money is tied to Florida in the 2018 cycle?

Candidate receipts storing office state FL and cycle 2018 total $213,044,539.36 across 147 candidate records in this extract. The unfiltered 2018 national book is $2,698,163,707.14 from 2418 candidates. $213,044,539.36 is already inside $2,698,163,707.14; adding the two double-counts. Source: FEC.gov candidate receipt aggregates.

Does $213,044,539.36 include independent expenditures in Florida?

No. The source note limits the series to candidate receipts. Independent expenditures, electioneering communications, and committee operating expenditures are other FEC tables and are omitted from $213,044,539.36 and from $2,698,163,707.14. Cite the live 2018 file on FEC.gov for those other schedules.

Can I treat 147 as unique Florida candidates?

Treat it as a candidate-record count in this extract, not a named census. Multiple committees and special elections can add records. The packet publishes 147 for Florida in 2018 and 2418 nationally. Names are unpublished and are not invented here. Mean about $1,449,282.58 uses $213,044,539.36 divided by 147.

Are 2018 Florida receipts the same as Florida federal spending?

No. FEC candidate receipts and USAspending obligations are different datasets. $213,044,539.36 is not an award amount. Office state on a candidate filing does not convert receipts into federal spending. This packet publishes no obligation dollars and no award counts. Source: FEC.gov.
