Louisiana candidate fundraising — 2022 cycle

The 2022 cycle and Louisiana as a two-key join

Louisiana office-state candidates reported $71,475,636 in FEC.gov receipts for the 2022 cycle. That figure is Louisiana candidate-committee receipts for federal office in office state LA during the 2022 cycle, as grouped on FEC.gov. The matching national book is $3,650,192,301 ($3.65 billion) across 2,574 candidates. Louisiana is 2.0% of those cycle dollars and 1.1% of the cycle candidate roster. This page exists because the two dimensions meet. It is not a restatement of the 2022 cycle hub alone and not a restatement of the Louisiana state hub across every cycle.

Louisiana’s 2022 dollar share and candidate-share diverge: fewer candidates than many states, still $71.5 million in receipts. That is a description of the table, not a motive claim. Twenty-nine Louisiana office-state candidates is a small roster against 2,574 cycle candidates, so the dollar cell is concentrated across fewer listed campaigns than a 69- or 77-candidate state cell. Candidate receipts here are committee-side totals for the office-state filter. They are not independent expenditures, not a Schedule A donor directory, and not USAspending award dollars. The cycle hub lives at /election-cycles/2022/; the Louisiana hub lives at /states/LA/. Every cycle is indexed at /election-cycles/, and sibling joins sit at /ties/.

Twenty-nine Louisiana candidates in 2022

Louisiana accounts for 2.0% of 2022 cycle dollars and 1.1% of 2022 cycle candidates. Those two percentages need not match. A state can hold a larger share of listed candidates than of receipts, or the reverse. Twenty-nine Louisiana office-state candidates is a small roster against 2,574 cycle candidates, so the dollar cell is concentrated across fewer listed campaigns than a 69- or 77-candidate state cell. Neither percentage is a ranking of winners. The remaining $3,578,716,664 stayed in other office states.

Louisiana’s 2022 cell holds $71,475,636 ($71.5 million) from 29 office-state candidates. Dividing receipts by that candidate count gives an arithmetic mean of about $2,464,677 per listed candidate. That mean is a ratio of two FEC columns. It is not a median, not a typical itemized contribution, and not evidence that each campaign raised the same amount. The Louisiana hub at /states/LA/ mixes cycles; this tie freezes 2022 only.

Louisiana inside the 2022 national book

The 2022 cycle table on FEC.gov shows $3,650,192,301 in candidate receipts nationwide and 2,574 candidates. After removing Louisiana, $3,578,716,664 and 2,545 candidates remain in other office states. Those remainder figures are arithmetic (cycle minus state). They are not a second FEC file. Opening only this tie would hide that remainder. The 2022 hub at /election-cycles/2022/ keeps the full book; /election-cycles/ lists every cycle; /ties/ lists other two-key joins.

Boundaries of the Louisiana 2022 receipt table

This join does not count independent expenditures, party coordinated expenditures, or unitemized receipts that never entered the candidate-receipt aggregate. It does not name donors. It does not say FEC receipts funded federal awards on USAspending.gov; those are different datasets even when the geography string matches. Office state LA is the seat sought, not the mailing state of contributors. Correlation between a busy cycle and a large state cell is not causation and not an election-outcome claim. Quote $71,475,636 as Louisiana in 2022, and quote $3,650,192,301 as the 2022 national total — never as each other.

How the 2022 and Louisiana hubs differ from this tie

Read /states/LA/ for Louisiana campaign-finance totals that mix cycles. Read /election-cycles/2022/ for the 2022 cycle across every office state. Read /election-cycles/ for the cycle index and /ties/ for other FEC two-dimension pages. This URL, Louisiana × 2022, is only the overlap: 29 candidates and $71,475,636 in receipts, sourced to FEC.gov candidate receipts grouped by election cycle and office state.

Cite two lines, never one: 2022 Louisiana office-state candidate receipts $71,475,636 from 29 candidates, and 2022 national candidate receipts $3,650,192,301 from 2,574 candidates. The first line is the join cell. The second is the cycle book. FEC.gov is the source for both. Canonical path: /ties/2022-louisiana-candidate-receipts/.

Questions

What did Louisiana federal candidates raise in 2022?

$71,475,636 is FEC.gov candidate receipts for federal office in Louisiana during the 2022 cycle. It is not the $3.65 billion national cycle total and not independent expenditures. Office state is the seat, not donor home address. The 29-candidate count is office state LA for that cycle only.

What is the 2022 national candidate-receipt total?

The 2022 cycle book on FEC.gov is $3,650,192,301 across 2,574 candidates nationwide. Louisiana is 29 of those candidates and $71,475,636 of those receipts (2.0% of cycle dollars). That $3.65 billion figure is every office state, not Louisiana alone.

Does this page name Louisiana contributors?

No. This page is candidate committee receipts grouped by election cycle 2022 and office state LA. It does not name individual donors, does not sum PAC independent expenditures, and does not treat FEC receipts as USAspending awards. No donor names appear in the FEC.gov facts.

Where can I see other 2022 states?

Use /election-cycles/2022/ for the 2022 national cycle hub and /states/LA/ for Louisiana across cycles. All election cycles live at /election-cycles/. Sibling cycle-state joins live at /ties/. All FEC ties is the index of sibling joins.
