Democratic Party candidate receipts in New Jersey

How DEM and New Jersey office state meet

This page is a join, not a restatement of either hub. Democratic Party (DEM) is one axis. Office state New Jersey (NJ) is the other. $72,571,199.35 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 New Jersey campaign-finance hub still holds every occupation and party coded to NJ on other tables. New Jersey federal offices tagged NJ and DEM produce $72,571,199.35 across 531 records.

531 candidate records at a mean of about $136,668.93 per record mix statewide, House, Senate, and any other federal offices tagged NJ. Mean is $72,571,199.35 divided by 531. It is not a typical district budget. 531 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 New Jersey, not a map of New Jersey residents’ gifts. DNC Form 3X is not inside $72,571,199.35.

What the DEM–New Jersey join refuses to say

This page does not rank New Jersey voters, score votes, or treat receipts as cash on hand. Party plus office state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. A larger New Jersey 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 New Jersey voters.

Do not treat $72,571,199.35 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.
