2022 cycle candidate receipts in Georgia

What the 2022 × Georgia overlap is

Two filters produce $370,927,021.12. Filter one is FEC cycle 2022, a midterm two-year window. Filter two is office state GA. 104 candidate records survive both. $3,650,192,300.74 is the cycle dimension with the state filter removed. Divide $370,927,021.12 by $3,650,192,300.74 and Georgia is 10.2% of the national 2022 stack; $3,279,265,279.62 (89.8%) sits in other states.

The Georgia hub still lists every cycle. The 2022 hub still lists every state. Citing either hub as if it were this page misstates the denominator. Candidate count 104 is a filing count for this pair, not a unique-person census of everyone who ever ran in Georgia.

Cycle 2022 is tagged as a midterm FEC window. Presidential versus midterm is a calendar label, not a finding about Georgia turnout. Independent expenditures are other files. USAspending awards are a different statute. Source: FEC.gov.

What Georgia candidate receipts include in 2022

$370,927,021.12 is the Georgia office-state book in cycle 2022 — every candidate record tagged GA in that window. $370,927,021.12 is already inside $3,650,192,300.74. Adding $370,927,021.12 to $3,650,192,300.74 would double-count the Georgia slice. $3,279,265,279.62 is the portion of the national cycle book filed in other office states.

The Georgia hub still includes other years. This join keeps both nouns: Georgia and 2022. 104 candidate records belong to this pair only. Other cycles have their own candidate counts.

What cycle 2022 contributes to this page

2022 is a midterm even-year FEC cycle. Inside it, Georgia shows 104 candidate records totaling $370,927,021.12. Mean record size is about $3,566,605.97. That ratio uses only the two join numbers. It is not household income and not a typical check.

The 2022 election-cycle hub mixes Georgia with every other office state. This page does not. If a citation needs Georgia in 2022, use this tie. If a citation needs all of 2022 nationally, use the cycle hub.

Packet slug 2022-georgia-candidate-receipts is the LobbyVault filename for this 2022 × Georgia join. Canonical path is /ties/2022-georgia-candidate-receipts/. Overlay the cycle hub and the state hub; do not treat either hub as $370,927,021.12.

Cycle 2022 (midterm) plus office state GA is the two-part key behind $370,927,021.12. Drop the cycle and the page becomes a multi-year state hub. Drop the state and the page becomes the national cycle hub of $3,650,192,300.74. Keep both.

How large Georgia is inside the 2022 stack

$370,927,021.12 ÷ $3,650,192,300.74 = 10.2%. 104 ÷ 2574 = 4.0%. $3,279,265,279.62 ÷ $3,650,192,300.74 = 89.8%. Those identities use packet totals only. Do not convert the slices into a percentage of Georgia population or of USAspending.

A 10.2% dollar share means most of the 2022 book in this extract sits in other office states ($3,279,265,279.62). That is a description of this table, not a claim that Georgia was quiet or loud.

Recompute the dollar share from the raw figures: 370,927,021.12 divided by 3,650,192,300.74 is 10.2%. The complement 3,279,265,279.62 is $3,279,265,279.62, which is 89.8% of the national 2022 book. Candidate share uses 104 / 2574.

Candidate records are not a name list

104 is a candidate-record count. $370,927,021.12 is a dollar sum. $3,566,605.97 is their ratio. None of those is a named roster. None is a median. None is a party split. The packet did not include those fields, so this page does not publish them.

Omitted from $370,927,021.12: independent expenditures, PAC-to-PAC transfers, and USAspending awards. Omitted from the cycle comparison: any cycle other than 2022, except as unpublished other-year Georgia totals on the state hub.

Georgia 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 Georgia hub. Researchers who need Georgia in 2022 should stay here.

How to cite the pair

Citation template: election cycle 2022, office state Georgia (GA), $370,927,021.12 in candidate receipts from 104 candidate records, against a national cycle $3,650,192,300.74 from 2574 candidates (10.2% of cycle dollars; 4.0% of candidate records). Source: FEC.gov candidate receipts grouped by election cycle and office state. Not independent expenditures. Not a claim about federal spending.

Then send the reader to the live 2022 cycle hub, Georgia campaign finance, all election cycles, and All FEC ties. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live hubs control.

Candidate receipts are the only money in $370,927,021.12 and $3,650,192,300.74. Independent expenditures and USAspending awards are other files. Mixing those files with this join would invent a total the packet does not contain.

Questions

How much money is tied to Georgia in the 2022 cycle?

Candidate receipts storing office state GA and cycle 2022 total $370,927,021.12 across 104 candidate records in this extract. The unfiltered 2022 national book is $3,650,192,300.74 from 2574 candidates. $370,927,021.12 is already inside $3,650,192,300.74; adding the two double-counts. Source: FEC.gov candidate receipt aggregates.

Does $370,927,021.12 include independent expenditures in Georgia?

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 $370,927,021.12 and from $3,650,192,300.74. Cite the live 2022 file on FEC.gov for those other schedules.

Can I treat 104 as unique Georgia 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 104 for Georgia in 2022 and 2574 nationally. Names are unpublished and are not invented here. Mean about $3,566,605.97 uses $370,927,021.12 divided by 104.

Are 2022 Georgia receipts the same as Georgia federal spending?

No. FEC candidate receipts and USAspending obligations are different datasets. $370,927,021.12 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.
