Texas candidates in the 2022 election cycle

Headline number $140,196,535.26 for one state and one cycle

$140,196,535.26 requires both keys: cycle 2022 and office state TX. Drop the cycle and you have described a multi-year Texas hub. Drop the state and you have described the national 2022 hub of $3,650,192,300.74. Keep both.

3.8% of $3,650,192,300.74 is this state's dollar slice inside 2022. 8.5% of 2574 is this state's candidate-record slice (218 of 2574). Those identities use packet facts only.

Public records, not accusations: $140,196,535.26 does not allege that Texas races were bought. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Texas is office geography, not donor geography

Donor city joins are other pages. This file does not filter contributor city. $140,196,535.26 can include out-of-state itemized gifts to Texas candidates. Mixing donor geography into this total would invent a filter the packet does not apply.

Texas campaign finance still mixes cycles. This page does not. Researchers who need a multi-year Texas mix should leave this URL. Researchers who need Texas in 2022 should stay.

Cycle year 2022

Always pair the dollars with the year: $140,196,535.26 in 2022. Name Texas (TX) so a reader can match the office-state file. Other even-year windows are other joins.

Amended candidate filings can move $140,196,535.26 and $3,650,192,300.74. If the live hubs disagree with this prose, the newer FEC extract controls. This /ties/ page is a join snapshot, not a substitute for the cycle file on FEC.gov.

Packet slug 2022-texas-candidate-receipts is the LobbyVault filename for this 2022 × Texas join. Canonical path is /ties/2022-texas-candidate-receipts/. Overlay the cycle hub and the state hub; do not treat either hub as $140,196,535.26.

Cycle 2022 (midterm) plus office state TX is the two-part key behind $140,196,535.26. 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.

Keep both join sides in every citation of the headline total. This /ties/ page is a snapshot of packet facts, not a substitute for live FEC.gov bulk files. Amended reports can move either side of the join; the newer extract controls. Internal links stay on the packet hrefs only. Unitemized activity and independent expenditures remain outside these totals.

3.8% is a table identity

3.8% = $140,196,535.26 / $3,650,192,300.74. 8.5% = 218 / 2574. Quote both when the question is size. Quote only dollars when the question is money. Quote only records when the question is how many candidate lines.

Do not treat 3.8% as Texas's share of donor dollars. Donor geography is not this join.

Recompute the dollar share from the raw figures: 140,196,535.26 divided by 3,650,192,300.74 is 3.8%. The complement 3,509,995,765.48 is $3,509,995,765.48, which is 96.2% of the national 2022 book. Candidate share uses 218 / 2574.

FEC candidate receipts are not USAspending obligations. $140,196,535.26 has no award count beside it in this packet. Do not fold $140,196,535.26 into federal spending in Texas. Different statutes, different forms, different tables.

Caveats on a 2022 × Texas join

An TX office-state code does not mean every dollar was donated from Texas. Office state is not donor state. $140,196,535.26 is not allocated by district on this page. Those splits are not in the packet.

Cycle 2022 is midterm. Public records, not accusations.

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

Do not invent candidate names. 218 is a record count. Mean about $643,103.37 is arithmetic. The packet published cycle, state, $140,196,535.26, 218, $3,650,192,300.74, and 2574.

Where to go next on LobbyVault

After this tie, the Texas hub shows Texas without 2022 as a required filter. The cycle hub shows 2022 without TX as a required filter. All election cycles lists other windows. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This URL remains the intersection.

$140,196,535.26 from 218 records is the intersection's signature. $3,650,192,300.74 from 2574 records is the cycle signature. Do not swap them in a citation.

Candidate receipts are the only money in $140,196,535.26 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 $140,196,535.26 or $3,650,192,300.74, the live Texas 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 Texas candidates raise in 2022?

This extract records $140,196,535.26 in FEC candidate receipts where office state is TX and cycle is 2022, across 218 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 Texas in 2022?

No. Office state is the state of the office sought. Donor state is a different FEC field and is not this join. $140,196,535.26 can include itemized gifts from other states to Texas candidates. 218 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 Texas offices?

$140,196,535.26 is 3.8% of the $3,650,192,300.74 national 2022 cycle book. 218 candidate records are 8.5% of 2574 nationally. Other office states account for $3,509,995,765.48. Quote dollars and counts separately. Do not upgrade 3.8% into a donor-geography share or a USAspending share.

Do Texas candidate receipts in 2022 fund federal grants there?

No. These figures are FEC candidate receipts, not USAspending awards. $140,196,535.26 does not become a contract or assistance award because both datasets can mention Texas. Different statutes, different forms. This packet has no obligation dollars and no award counts. Filings remain on FEC.gov.
