North Carolina (NC) candidate receipts in 2022

North Carolina receipts in 2022 are a two-key overlap

LobbyVault keeps a North Carolina state page and a 2022 election-cycle page. Neither page is this join. The join is $128,237,232.50 from 128 candidates where cycle equals 2022 and office state equals NC. Against the national cycle total of $3,650,192,300.74, that is 3.5%. Other office states in the same cycle hold $3.5 billion.

Do not treat 3.5% as North Carolina's share of donor dollars from North Carolina residents. Donor geography is not in these facts. Do not treat 128 as unique people who live in North Carolina. The count is candidates with office state NC 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; $128,237,232.50 is the stored North Carolina office-state total for that window. North Carolina (NC) is the FEC office-state code. South Carolina, Virginia, and Tennessee office states stay separate. Dollar figures are candidate receipt aggregates from FEC.gov, not federal awards and not state-office filings. Independent expenditures are other files.

North Carolina office-state receipts without a national mix-in

128 is a relatively large candidate file for this office state. 128 candidates produced $128,237,232.50. Mean about $1.00 million per candidate is $128,237,232.50 divided by 128. 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.

North Carolina (NC) is the FEC office-state code. South Carolina, Virginia, and Tennessee office states stay separate. Keep NC on the name. Other states have their own 2022 ties. $128,237,232.50 is not a North Carolina 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 North Carolina's $128.2 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; $128,237,232.50 is the stored North Carolina office-state total for that window.

3.5% of 2022 U.S. candidate receipts

Compared with the rest of the 2022 cycle, North Carolina is 3.5% of candidate receipts ($128,237,232.50 of $3,650,192,300.74). The rest is $3,521,955,068.24. 128 is the North Carolina 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 North Carolina as a winner or loser in 2022. This join has one office state and one cycle. Neighboring cycle-state pages are other keys. North Carolina campaign finance still mixes years.

What 128 North Carolina candidates are not

Candidate receipts are the only money on this page. 128 North Carolina candidates sum to $128,237,232.50 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 NC is a candidate field. Cycle 2022 is an FEC tag. Together they are a join, not a story about why 128 candidates raised $128.2 million. Correlation is not causation. An office in North Carolina does not locate the donors who funded the committee.

Using North Carolina and 2022 links without mixing statutes

Public records, not accusations: $128,237,232.50 from 128 candidates is a disclosure aggregate. It is not evidence of coordination, quid pro quo, or local control. Correlation is not causation. North Carolina × 2022 is a database join.

Researchers should keep NC as the stored office-state code and 2022 as the cycle tag. North Carolina (NC) is the FEC office-state code. South Carolina, Virginia, and Tennessee office states stay separate. Source: FEC.gov candidate receipts grouped by election cycle and office state. Live hubs win if they disagree with this snapshot.

Questions

Who raised $128.2 million in North Carolina in 2022?

128 federal candidates with office state NC 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 North Carolina page?

Because this is a join. $3,650,192,300.74 is the national 2022 denominator that makes 3.5% computable. It is not additional North Carolina money. North Carolina money in 2022 remains $128,237,232.50. Cite the national figure only as the cycle total, never as the North Carolina office-state cell.

Does 128 include state-legislature candidates in North Carolina?

No. These are FEC candidate records for federal office, grouped by office state NC. North Carolina state-office campaigns file under state law, not in this FEC candidate-receipt join. 128 is the federal candidate count in the packet, not a legislature roster.

Where should I go next from this North Carolina 2022 tie?

Open the 2022 election cycle for the national year, North Carolina 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.
