South Carolina candidate fundraising — 2022 cycle

South Carolina office state inside the 2022 cycle

South Carolina office-state candidates reported $68,042,884 in the 2022 FEC.gov candidate-receipt table. That figure is South Carolina candidate-committee receipts for federal office in office state SC 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. South Carolina is 1.9% of those cycle dollars and 1.4% 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 South Carolina state hub across every cycle.

South Carolina’s share of 2022 cycle dollars is a descriptive ratio. It is not a ranking of states and not a claim about runoff mechanics. Thirty-seven South Carolina office-state candidates produced the cell; the 2022 cycle lists 2,574 candidates across all office states. 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 South Carolina hub lives at /states/SC/. Every cycle is indexed at /election-cycles/, and sibling joins sit at /ties/.

Thirty-seven South Carolina candidates and $68.0 million

South Carolina’s 2022 cell holds $68,042,884 ($68.0 million) from 37 office-state candidates. Dividing receipts by that candidate count gives an arithmetic mean of about $1,838,997 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 South Carolina hub at /states/SC/ mixes cycles; this tie freezes 2022 only.

The 2022 cycle remainder outside South Carolina

The 2022 cycle table on FEC.gov shows $3,650,192,301 in candidate receipts nationwide and 2,574 candidates. After removing South Carolina, $3,582,149,417 and 2,537 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.

South Carolina 2022: IEs and awards stay out

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 SC 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 $68,042,884 as South Carolina in 2022, and quote $3,650,192,301 as the 2022 national total — never as each other.

Cycle and state indexes for South Carolina 2022

Read /states/SC/ for South Carolina 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, South Carolina × 2022, is only the overlap: 37 candidates and $68,042,884 in receipts, sourced to FEC.gov candidate receipts grouped by election cycle and office state.

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

Cite two lines, never one: 2022 South Carolina office-state candidate receipts $68,042,884 from 37 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-south-carolina-candidate-receipts/.

South Carolina is 37 of 2,574 candidates in the 2022 table. The $68.0 million cell is not the $3.65 billion cycle book. A later FEC bulk file can move South Carolina’s 2022 cell and the 2022 cycle book together; this snapshot stores $68,042,884 and $3,650,192,301 as harvested. Independent expenditures remain outside both columns. Donor names are not in this FEC grouping.

Questions

How much did South Carolina federal candidates raise in 2022?

No. This page is candidate committee receipts grouped by election cycle 2022 and office state SC. It does not name individual donors, does not sum PAC independent expenditures, and does not treat FEC receipts as USAspending awards. The source note excludes independent expenditures.

How do I open South Carolina or 2022 without this join?
