Mississippi’s award-row count needs its dollar partner

MS joins $19.2 million from 476 committees to $154,631,141,306 from 362,644 awards. Cite 362,644 with $154,631,141,306. A bare row count sounds like a pile of deals the file never defined.

A Jackson contribution does not become a Gulf Coast obligation because both strings say Mississippi. Mississippi campaign finance, Mississippi USAspending, and All FEC ties are the three doors.

Shipyard and disaster-award stories need Mississippi USAspending. They do not inherit 72.3% from the candidate file. 362,644 awards have no party field here. Keep the Republican receipt share on the FEC sentence only, always.

State-office campaigns in Mississippi file under state law and sit outside $19.2 million. Local procurement paid without a federal award sits outside $154,631,141,306. This page names two federal disclosure systems — FEC.gov candidate receipts and USAspending.gov awards — and stops. A third system would be a different citation.

The Delta and the Coast share MS. This packet does not split $19.2 million or $154,631,141,306 among them. 476 committees and 362,644 awards stay statewide. A regional chart would be a different extract.

476 is a filing count, not a November ballot census. 362,644 is an action count, not unique vendors. Keep those nouns attached to the integers when citing Mississippi.

What the join is not

Not a claim that $19.2 million funded $154,631,141,306. Not a ranking of Mississippi as more or less successful at attracting awards. Not a partisan map of 362,644 awards.

Independent expenditures about Mississippi candidates can be paid from elsewhere. Those dollars sit outside both packet totals.

Mississippi’s 476 committees and 362,644 awards answer different questions. Keep $19.2 million on the FEC.gov sentence and $154,631,141,306 on the USAspending.gov sentence even when a headline wants a single number. A single number would mix statutes. This join will not publish one.

Delta and Coast share one code

Those regions share MS. This packet does not split $19.2 million or $154,631,141,306 among them. 476 committees and 362,644 awards stay statewide. A regional narrative is color, not a join field.

Print $0.2 million if you publish 72.3% and 26.8% so the pie still closes on $19.2 million.

Amended candidate reports move $19.2 million. Award restatements move $154,631,141,306. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Mississippi campaign finance and Mississippi USAspending are the live tables; this prose is a packet snapshot for MS.
