Democratic Party candidate receipts in Michigan

How DEM and Michigan office state meet

This page is a join, not a restatement of either hub. Democratic Party (DEM) is one axis. Office state Michigan (MI) is the other. $65,730,064.18 is only the overlap: candidate receipts that carry both the party code and the office-state key. The party overlay still holds $1,674,412,539.19. The Michigan campaign-finance hub still holds every occupation and party coded to MI on other tables. Michigan federal offices tagged MI and DEM produce $65,730,064.18 across 554 records.

554 candidate records at a mean of about $118,646.33 per record mix statewide, House, Senate, and any other federal offices tagged MI. Mean is $65,730,064.18 divided by 554. It is not a typical district budget. 554 records include primary challengers and historical rows present in the index.

Party code DEM is candidate affiliation on the FEC candidate master, not a Democratic National Committee Form 3X total and not a DSCC or DCCC roll-up. Office state is the geography of the seat, not the donor’s address. Recipients in this cell are DEM-coded candidates running from Michigan, not a map of Michigan residents’ gifts. DNC Form 3X is not inside $65,730,064.18.

What the DEM–Michigan join refuses to say

This page does not rank Michigan voters, score votes, or treat receipts as cash on hand. Party plus office state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. A larger Michigan cell than another state on a different page is a description of candidate receipts, not voting advice. Party codes are FEC labels, not a ranking of Michigan voters.

Do not treat $65,730,064.18 as cash on hand. Do not add DEM candidate receipts to Super PAC independent expenditures. Do not claim these receipts fund USAspending awards. Different datasets, different forms. Form 3 candidate receipts only. Independent expenditures are omitted.
