New Jersey candidate fundraising — 2022 cycle

The 2022 cycle × New Jersey office-state join

Sixty-three New Jersey office-state candidates reported $64,157,087 on FEC.gov for the 2022 cycle. That figure is New Jersey candidate-committee receipts for federal office in office state NJ 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. New Jersey is 1.8% of those cycle dollars and 2.4% 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 New Jersey state hub across every cycle.

Office state on this page is the state of the federal office. A Senate or House candidate listed with office state NJ enters the New Jersey cell for 2022 even if some receipts were raised out of state. A donor who lives in New Jersey and gives to a different office state does not enter this cell by residence. The New Jersey hub at /states/NJ/ is the broader state view; this tie freezes one cycle.

Sixty-three New Jersey candidates and the dollar cell

New Jersey’s 2022 cell holds $64,157,087 ($64.2 million) from 63 office-state candidates. Dividing receipts by that candidate count gives an arithmetic mean of about $1,018,366 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 New Jersey hub at /states/NJ/ mixes cycles; this tie freezes 2022 only.

The mean of about $1.02 million per New Jersey 2022 candidate is an arithmetic ratio, not a typical gift.

New Jersey’s share of the 2022 cycle

New Jersey accounts for 1.8% of 2022 cycle dollars and 2.4% 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. New Jersey’s 2022 cell and the 2022 national book are different columns; quote $64,157,087 for the state and $3,650,192,301 for the cycle. Neither percentage is a ranking of winners. The remaining $3,586,035,213 stayed in other office states.

Exclusions: IEs, donors, and federal awards

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 NJ 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 $64,157,087 as New Jersey in 2022, and quote $3,650,192,301 as the 2022 national total — never as each other.

Hubs that sit beside this New Jersey 2022 tie

Read /states/NJ/ for New Jersey 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, New Jersey × 2022, is only the overlap: 63 candidates and $64,157,087 in receipts, sourced to FEC.gov candidate receipts grouped by election cycle and office state.

Cite two lines, never one: 2022 New Jersey office-state candidate receipts $64,157,087 from 63 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-new-jersey-candidate-receipts/.

Sixty-three NJ office-state candidates produced $64,157,087 in 2022. This is not an independent-expenditure scoreboard. A later FEC bulk file can move New Jersey’s 2022 cell and the 2022 cycle book together; this snapshot stores $64,157,087 and $3,650,192,301 as harvested. Independent expenditures remain outside both columns. Donor names are not in this FEC grouping.

Office state NJ is a federal-seat code on candidate filings, not a contributor ZIP roll-up and not a state-office ethics filing. 63 candidates produced $64,157,087 inside 2022. Other office states hold the remaining $3,586,035,213 of the $3.65 billion cycle book. All FEC ties at /ties/ lists sibling cycle-state pages so this overlap is not mistaken for the full New Jersey hub.

Questions

How much did New Jersey federal candidates raise in 2022?

$64,157,087 is FEC.gov candidate receipts for federal office in New Jersey 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. Sixty-three is the candidate count for office state NJ, not contributors.

How big was the 2022 cycle nationwide?

The 2022 cycle book on FEC.gov is $3,650,192,301 across 2,574 candidates nationwide. New Jersey is 63 of those candidates and $64,157,087 of those receipts (1.8% of cycle dollars). New Jersey’s cell is a subset, not a substitute for the cycle total.

Are these New Jersey donor names?

No. This page is candidate committee receipts grouped by election cycle 2022 and office state NJ. It does not name individual donors, does not sum PAC independent expenditures, and does not treat FEC receipts as USAspending awards. No contributor roster is published on this join.

How do I open the 2022 cycle or New Jersey hubs?

Use /election-cycles/2022/ for the 2022 national cycle hub and /states/NJ/ for New Jersey across cycles. All election cycles live at /election-cycles/. Sibling cycle-state joins live at /ties/. Sibling cycle–state cells live under All FEC ties.
