Democratic Party candidate receipts in Texas

How DEM and Texas office state meet

This page is a join, not a restatement of either hub. Democratic Party (DEM) is one axis. Office state Texas (TX) is the other. $132,748,588.77 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 Texas campaign-finance hub still holds every occupation and party coded to TX on other tables. Texas federal offices tagged TX and DEM produce $132,748,588.77 across 1,105 records.

1,105 candidate records at a mean of about $120,134.47 per record mix statewide, House, Senate, and any other federal offices tagged TX. Mean is $132,748,588.77 divided by 1,105. It is not a typical district budget. 1,105 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 Texas, not a map of Texas residents’ gifts. DNC Form 3X is not inside $132,748,588.77.

DEM as the party side of the Texas join

The Democratic Party hub is $1,674,412,539.19 in candidate receipts for records coded DEM in the indexed window. About 7.9% of that book is this Texas office-state cell ($132,748,588.77). Other states remain on the party overlay. Other office states remain on the Democratic Party overlay. This tie is TX only.

Candidate records can repeat across cycles and offices. 1,105 is a count of FEC rows in this DEM–TX cell, not a headcount of people currently on a Texas ballot. The packet does not split those rows by cycle or office. The packet does not split the 1,105 rows by cycle or by House versus Senate.

Texas as office state, not donor state

Texas on this page is office state TX attached to Democratic Party candidate receipts totaling $132,748,588.77. It is not a ranking of Texas voters and not a donor-state total. A DEM candidate in a Texas district can raise money from any state.

The Texas campaign-finance hub includes itemized individual activity across occupations. This join is candidate receipts by party and office state — a different table family. Republican fundraising in Texas is a separate affiliation tie. Do not add the two cells here.

What the DEM–Texas join refuses to say

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

Do not treat $132,748,588.77 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.
