2022 FEC cycle and Ohio office-state totals

Ohio and 2022 as a join

Where 2022 meets OH, FEC candidate receipts sum to $188,952,539.80 on 85 candidate records. The cycle aggregate without a state filter is $3,650,192,300.74 on 2574 records. Ohio is 5.2% of that national cycle book; 94.8% ($3,461,239,760.94) was filed in other office states. The arithmetic uses only packet facts.

This URL is a relationship page. Later sections unpack the state side, the cycle side, the shares, and the caveats. It is not a restatement of Ohio campaign finance across cycles.

Cycle 2022 is a midterm two-year FEC window. That calendar fact does not explain $188,952,539.80. Unitemized small activity below candidate reporting, independent expenditures, and USAspending awards are omitted. Source: FEC.gov.

Office state OH in 2022

Ohio's 2022 total of $188,952,539.80 is the subset. The national 2022 total of $3,650,192,300.74 is the parent. 5.2% names that subset as a share of the parent. $3,461,239,760.94 names the complement inside the same cycle. Office state is the geography of the office, not a claim about where donors live.

Use the state hub when the cycle does not matter. Use this tie when both Ohio and 2022 matter. Do not fold neighboring states into OH.

2022 is not only Ohio

The cycle dimension is the FEC even-year tag 2022 (midterm). Combined with Ohio, it yields $188,952,539.80 and 85 candidate records. The national 2022 page still has every other office state. This page has one state. Keep both nouns when citing: Ohio and 2022.

About $2,222,971.06 per Ohio candidate record is $188,952,539.80 divided by 85. No median is in the packet. No named-candidate list is in the packet. No party split is in the packet. Those omissions are intentional: the facts do not include them.

Packet slug 2022-ohio-candidate-receipts is the LobbyVault filename for this 2022 × Ohio join. Canonical path is /ties/2022-ohio-candidate-receipts/. Overlay the cycle hub and the state hub; do not treat either hub as $188,952,539.80.

Cycle 2022 (midterm) plus office state OH is the two-part key behind $188,952,539.80. 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.

Dollar share and candidate share

Inside cycle 2022, Ohio holds $188,952,539.80 and other office states hold $3,461,239,760.94. The cycle total is the sum: $3,650,192,300.74. 5.2% names the Ohio dollar piece. 85 names the Ohio file size. Mean about $2,222,971.06 names $188,952,539.80/85. Four jobs, four numbers, plus the national candidate count 2574.

If a later FEC extract revises $188,952,539.80 or $3,650,192,300.74, the live hubs control. This prose is a snapshot of the packet facts.

Recompute the dollar share from the raw figures: 188,952,539.80 divided by 3,650,192,300.74 is 5.2%. The complement 3,461,239,760.94 is $3,461,239,760.94, which is 94.8% of the national 2022 book. Candidate share uses 85 / 2574.

FEC candidate receipts are not USAspending obligations. $188,952,539.80 has no award count beside it in this packet. Do not fold $188,952,539.80 into federal spending in Ohio. Different statutes, different forms, different tables.

No invented campaigns

Do not invent candidate names for the Ohio × 2022 pair. Do not invent a district split. Do not invent a party split. The packet did not include them. $188,952,539.80, 85, $3,650,192,300.74, and 2574 are the numeric join besides stored labels.

Other cycles for Ohio are other keys. Other states for 2022 are other keys. Exact match is the method.

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

Do not invent candidate names. 85 is a record count. Mean about $2,222,971.06 is arithmetic. The packet published cycle, state, $188,952,539.80, 85, $3,650,192,300.74, and 2574.

Keeping both nouns: Ohio and 2022

Both nouns: Ohio and 2022. Both dollar totals: $188,952,539.80 and $3,650,192,300.74. Both counts: 85 and 2574. Shares: 5.2% of dollars, 3.3% of records. Cite the cluster, not a single number yanked out of the join. Do not attach a fake candidate list.

Cycle 2022 is midterm. Source: FEC.gov. Live hubs win on disagreement.

Candidate receipts are the only money in $188,952,539.80 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.

If a later extract revises $188,952,539.80 or $3,650,192,300.74, the live Ohio hub and the live 2022 hub control. This file is a packet snapshot, not a parallel disclosure system. Amended FEC reports can move either side of the join.

Questions

How much did Ohio candidates raise in 2022?

This extract records $188,952,539.80 in FEC candidate receipts where office state is OH and cycle is 2022, across 85 candidate records. That is the cycle-and-state join, not the national 2022 book of $3,650,192,300.74 from 2574 candidates. No candidate names are in the packet. Source: FEC.gov. Not independent expenditures.

Is office state the same as donor state for Ohio in 2022?

No. Office state is the state of the office sought. Donor state is a different FEC field and is not this join. $188,952,539.80 can include itemized gifts from other states to Ohio candidates. 85 candidate records follow the office-state filter only. Cite FEC.gov candidate receipts grouped by election cycle and office state.

What share of 2022 candidate receipts came from Ohio offices?

$188,952,539.80 is 5.2% of the $3,650,192,300.74 national 2022 cycle book. 85 candidate records are 3.3% of 2574 nationally. Other office states account for $3,461,239,760.94. Quote dollars and counts separately. Do not upgrade 5.2% into a donor-geography share or a USAspending share.

Do Ohio candidate receipts in 2022 fund federal grants there?

No. These figures are FEC candidate receipts, not USAspending awards. $188,952,539.80 does not become a contract or assistance award because both datasets can mention Ohio. Different statutes, different forms. This packet has no obligation dollars and no award counts. Filings remain on FEC.gov.
