Michigan candidate receipts during 2020

Why this page is not a Michigan donor list

Cycle 2020 is the year key. Office state MI is the geography key. $162,426,685.27 is the dollar overlap. 65 is the candidate-record overlap. $7,976,535,091.66 is the cycle parent set. Five facts plus the national candidate count 2459. This page does not add names of candidates.

A searcher looking for a roster of Michigan candidates in 2020 will not find a name list here. The packet did not include names. FEC candidate files remain the place to inspect those rows.

Source: FEC.gov candidate receipts grouped by election cycle and office state. Not independent expenditures. Not a claim about federal spending.

The subset: Michigan candidates in 2020

Subset $162,426,685.27: candidate receipts for office state MI in cycle 2020. Parent $7,976,535,091.66: every office state in that cycle. Complement $7,814,108,406.39: every other office state. The subset is not a donor list; it is an office-state aggregate.

All FEC ties indexes other cycle-state pages, including other Michigan cycles and other states in 2020. Sibling joins are not components of $162,426,685.27.

Keeping 2020 on the citation

Researchers should keep 2020 in footnotes even when the prose uses Michigan. Years do not collide the way nicknames do. $162,426,685.27 attaches to 2020 and MI together.

All FEC ties lists other cycle-state pages. A sibling join for Michigan in another cycle is not a component of $162,426,685.27. A sibling join for another state in 2020 is not a component of $162,426,685.27.

Packet slug 2020-michigan-candidate-receipts is the LobbyVault filename for this 2020 × Michigan join. Canonical path is /ties/2020-michigan-candidate-receipts/. Overlay the cycle hub and the state hub; do not treat either hub as $162,426,685.27.

Cycle 2020 (presidential) plus office state MI is the two-part key behind $162,426,685.27. Drop the cycle and the page becomes a multi-year state hub. Drop the state and the page becomes the national cycle hub of $7,976,535,091.66. 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.

Remainder $7,814,108,406.39 stays in 2020

$7,814,108,406.39 did not leave cycle 2020. It left this office-state filter. The cycle hub still holds those dollars. This tie does not itemize which other states received them.

Researchers who need the rest of 2020 should open the 2020 election-cycle hub. Researchers who need $162,426,685.27 should stay on this /ties/ URL.

Recompute the dollar share from the raw figures: 162,426,685.27 divided by 7,976,535,091.66 is 2.0%. The complement 7,814,108,406.39 is $7,814,108,406.39, which is 98.0% of the national 2020 book. Candidate share uses 65 / 2459.

FEC candidate receipts are not USAspending obligations. $162,426,685.27 has no award count beside it in this packet. Do not fold $162,426,685.27 into federal spending in Michigan. Different statutes, different forms, different tables.

Independent expenditures and other FEC tables

Independent expenditures never enter $162,426,685.27 or $7,976,535,091.66 as printed here. Committee-to-committee transfers never enter them. USAspending obligations never enter them. The operational definition remains candidate receipts grouped by election cycle and office state.

Mixing those other tables with this join would invent a total the packet does not contain. Stay on candidate receipts.

Michigan 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 Michigan hub. Researchers who need Michigan in 2020 should stay here.

Do not invent candidate names. 65 is a record count. Mean about $2,498,872.08 is arithmetic. The packet published cycle, state, $162,426,685.27, 65, $7,976,535,091.66, and 2459.

Canonical path for 2020 Michigan

Canonical path /ties/2020-michigan-candidate-receipts/ is the /ties/ URL for 2020 Michigan candidate receipts. Slug 2020-michigan-candidate-receipts is the filename. Overlay the cycle hub and the state hub; do not treat either hub as $162,426,685.27.

Candidate receipts are the only money in $162,426,685.27 and $7,976,535,091.66. 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 $162,426,685.27 or $7,976,535,091.66, the live Michigan hub and the live 2020 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 Michigan in the 2020 cycle?

Candidate receipts storing office state MI and cycle 2020 total $162,426,685.27 across 65 candidate records in this extract. The unfiltered 2020 national book is $7,976,535,091.66 from 2459 candidates. $162,426,685.27 is already inside $7,976,535,091.66; adding the two double-counts. Source: FEC.gov candidate receipt aggregates.

Does $162,426,685.27 include independent expenditures in Michigan?

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 $162,426,685.27 and from $7,976,535,091.66. Cite the live 2020 file on FEC.gov for those other schedules.

Can I treat 65 as unique Michigan 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 65 for Michigan in 2020 and 2459 nationally. Names are unpublished and are not invented here. Mean about $2,498,872.08 uses $162,426,685.27 divided by 65.

Are 2020 Michigan receipts the same as Michigan federal spending?

No. FEC candidate receipts and USAspending obligations are different datasets. $162,426,685.27 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.
