Hawaii FEC receipts of $4.9 million next to $69.8 billion in federal obligations

A long filer list beside a short receipt total

Three hundred ninety-one Hawaii-tagged federal candidate committees produced $4.86 million. That is more committees than several states in this join series that show larger receipt totals. Filer count and receipt dollars are independent fields. A long roster can include committees with modest or residual receipts. This page does not invent an average per committee as a finding; it reports 391 and $4,864,161.64 as the FEC pair.

Republican filers hold $592,748.17 (12.2% of the $4.86 million). Other-party filers hold $21,546.83 (0.4%). Democratic filers hold the remainder of the disclosed party roll-up. Those percentages stay inside the FEC column.

On the award side, 84,240 awards carry $69.8 billion. The obligation total is about 14,351 times the candidate-receipt total. The multiple is a scale marker. It is not a conversion rate from donations into awards.

What the FEC.gov Hawaii extract covers

The $4.86 million is candidate receipts, not donor-origin totals for every Hawaii address and not Super PAC independent expenditures. House, Senate, and other federal filers tagged to Hawaii sit in the 391. Sorting the Hawaii campaign finance hub by receipts shows concentration without adding a statistic that is not in the packet.

Hawaii state-office campaigns file with the Hawaii Campaign Spending Commission. Those reports are not FEC.gov and are not in this join.

What the USAspending Hawaii extract covers

Obligations tagged to Hawaii can reflect place of performance, recipient location, or other USAspending geography rules. The $69.8 billion is the state roll-up as indexed on SpendingVault, not a claim about which Hawaii residents received funds and not a claim about the 391 FEC committees.

Award types are not split in this packet. Contracts, grants, and other instruments that USAspending includes in the state total remain inside the $69.8 billion without a subtype table here.

Eighty-four thousand two hundred forty awards against $69,805,569,916.27 sit next to a FEC book that is only $4,864,161.64. The about-14,351-to-1 multiple is the largest among the state joins in this slice. Largest multiple is a scale fact, not a finding that Hawaii “gets more federal money per campaign dollar.” That phrase would smuggle a funding path the datasets do not contain.

Pacific place-of-performance, military installations, and assistance awards can all feed the HI tag. This packet has no program split, so this page does not assign the $69.8 billion to any of those channels.

Keep party receipts off the award ledger

An 87.4% Democratic share of candidate receipts is a campaign-finance fact. Applying it to 84,240 awards would be a category error. USAspending does not code awards by FEC party. FEC does not code candidate receipts as federal obligations.

Do not rank Hawaii as more or less “dependent” on federal dollars from this join. The packet has no population, GDP, or per-capita field. This page cites only the two ledgers.

Democratic receipts of $4,249,866.64 are 87.4% of a small FEC book, not 87.4% of 84,240 awards. Republican receipts of $592,748.17 (12.2%) and other-party receipts of $21,546.83 (0.4%) complete the FEC party roll-up. Exporting 87.4% onto USAspending would be a category error even if the receipt book were larger.

Three hundred ninety-one committees on $4.86 million means many filers in the roster hold modest or residual receipts. The Hawaii campaign finance hub’s receipt sort shows concentration without this join inventing an average per committee as a finding.

Tables to open next

Hawaii campaign finance is the live FEC hub. All FEC ties lists the rest of the state joins. Hawaii USAspending is the live award hub. If either live table moves, the live table and the source agency control this snapshot.

Hawaii campaign finance is the live FEC hub for the 391 filers. All FEC ties lists the other geography joins. Hawaii USAspending is the live award hub. Cite FEC.gov and USAspending.gov. Do not add $4,864,161.64 to $69,805,569,916.27.

Hawaii Campaign Spending Commission state-office filings remain outside both columns. Mixing that third system with this join would invent a total no agency published.

A long roster is not a large receipt file

Hawaii’s distinctive FEC fact in this slice is roster length versus dollars: 391 committees and $4,864,161.64. New Hampshire, by contrast, shows 424 committees and $30,614,494.45. Filer count does not predict receipts. This page reports both Hawaii fields and does not treat 391 as a proxy for $69.8 billion in awards.

A complete citation names $4,864,161.64, 391 filers, the three party figures, 84,240 awards, and $69,805,569,916.27 in obligations, then states that campaign contributions are not federal awards. Per-capita and tourism frames are not in the packet.

Live hubs override this snapshot after amendments. The packet dollars stay until a new extract replaces them.

Questions

How much have Hawaii federal candidates raised?

Hawaii-associated federal candidate committees reported $4,864,161.64 across 391 filers. Democratic committees reported $4,249,866.64, Republican committees $592,748.17, and other-party committees $21,546.83, according to FEC.gov via LobbyVault.

How much federal spending is tagged to Hawaii?

USAspending.gov records $69,805,569,916.27 in obligations across 84,240 awards tagged to Hawaii, as indexed on SpendingVault. That figure is not derived from FEC receipts.

Does Hawaii’s Democratic receipt share apply to federal awards?

No. The 87.4% Democratic share is a share of $4,864,161.64 in candidate receipts. USAspending awards are not party-coded, and donations do not fund those awards on this page.

Why are there 391 Hawaii committees but only $4.9 million?

Filer count and receipt dollars are separate FEC fields. The 391 committees include filers with small or residual receipts. This join reports both numbers as filed and does not treat roster length as a dollar forecast.
