Illinois (IL) candidate receipts in 2022

Illinois receipts in 2022 are a two-key overlap

LobbyVault keeps a Illinois state page and a 2022 election-cycle page. Neither page is this join. The join is $95,679,146.15 from 98 candidates where cycle equals 2022 and office state equals IL. Against the national cycle total of $3,650,192,300.74, that is 2.6%. Other office states in the same cycle hold $3.6 billion.

Do not treat 2.6% as Illinois's share of donor dollars from Illinois residents. Donor geography is not in these facts. Do not treat 98 as unique people who live in Illinois. The count is candidates with office state IL in cycle 2022. The packet does not publish a unique-donor count, a party split, or an office (Senate versus House) split for this pair.

The 2022 cycle is a closed even-year window in this extract; $95,679,146.15 is the stored Illinois office-state total for that window. Illinois (IL) is the FEC office-state code. Indiana, Wisconsin, Missouri, and Iowa office states are not folded into IL. Dollar figures are candidate receipt aggregates from FEC.gov, not federal awards and not state-office filings. Independent expenditures are other files.

Illinois office-state receipts without a national mix-in

98 is a relatively large candidate file for this office state. 98 candidates produced $95,679,146.15. Mean about $976,318 per candidate is $95,679,146.15 divided by 98. That ratio is not a typical campaign budget: a handful of statewide committees can dominate a mean while many House challengers file much smaller totals. No median is in the packet.

Illinois (IL) is the FEC office-state code. Indiana, Wisconsin, Missouri, and Iowa office states are not folded into IL. Keep IL on the name. Other states have their own 2022 ties. $95,679,146.15 is not a Illinois state-office total under state law.

2022 as a midterm FEC window

On the cycle side, 2574 U.S. candidates produced $3,650,192,300.74. Repeat filings and amended reports can still sit inside a candidate count of 2574 as stored. The packet does not say how many unique humans those records represent beyond the candidate count given. About $1.42 million per U.S. candidate is a trivial division, not a finding about wealth. Midterm versus the other even-year type is a schedule fact for 2022, not an explanation of Illinois's $95.7 million.

Independent expenditures never enter these candidate-receipt totals. Committee operating expenditures as a separate table never enter them. State-office filings never enter them. This is a candidate-receipt cycle×office-state aggregate from FEC.gov. The 2022 cycle is a closed even-year window in this extract; $95,679,146.15 is the stored Illinois office-state total for that window.

2.6% of 2022 U.S. candidate receipts

Compared with the rest of the 2022 cycle, Illinois is 2.6% of candidate receipts ($95,679,146.15 of $3,650,192,300.74). The rest is $3,554,513,154.59. 98 is the Illinois candidate count only. Quote dollars and candidates as different columns. Mixing them produces a fake density statistic this packet does not support.

Do not rank Illinois as a winner or loser in 2022. This join has one office state and one cycle. Neighboring cycle-state pages are other keys. Illinois campaign finance still mixes years.

What 98 Illinois candidates are not

Candidate receipts are the only money on this page. 98 Illinois candidates sum to $95,679,146.15 in 2022. If a researcher needs donor-city cuts, those are other LobbyVault joins. If a researcher needs committee names, those are not in this packet. Do not invent donor names.

Office state IL is a candidate field. Cycle 2022 is an FEC tag. Together they are a join, not a story about why 98 candidates raised $95.7 million. Correlation is not causation. An office in Illinois does not locate the donors who funded the committee.

Using Illinois and 2022 links without mixing statutes

Public records, not accusations: $95,679,146.15 from 98 candidates is a disclosure aggregate. It is not evidence of coordination, quid pro quo, or local control. Correlation is not causation. Illinois × 2022 is a database join.

Researchers should keep IL as the stored office-state code and 2022 as the cycle tag. Illinois (IL) is the FEC office-state code. Indiana, Wisconsin, Missouri, and Iowa office states are not folded into IL. Source: FEC.gov candidate receipts grouped by election cycle and office state. Live hubs win if they disagree with this snapshot.

Questions

Who raised $95.7 million in Illinois in 2022?

98 federal candidates with office state IL in cycle 2022, in aggregate. This packet does not list their names, parties, or offices. Inventing a candidate or donor name would exceed the facts. Use live candidate pages for names. This tie stays aggregated to office state and cycle.

Why is $3,650,192,300.74 on the Illinois page?

Because this is a join. $3,650,192,300.74 is the national 2022 denominator that makes 2.6% computable. It is not additional Illinois money. Illinois money in 2022 remains $95,679,146.15. Cite the national figure only as the cycle total, never as the Illinois office-state cell.

Does 98 include state-legislature candidates in Illinois?

No. These are FEC candidate records for federal office, grouped by office state IL. Illinois state-office campaigns file under state law, not in this FEC candidate-receipt join. 98 is the federal candidate count in the packet, not a legislature roster.

Where should I go next from this Illinois 2022 tie?

Open the 2022 election cycle for the national year, Illinois campaign finance for the all-cycle state mix, all election cycles for other windows, and all FEC ties for other two-dimension pages. Those four hrefs are the only internal links this packet authorizes. Sibling cycle-state slugs are other keys.
