Oklahoma campaign finance next to federal obligations

Oklahoma federal candidate committees reported $29.3 million, with Republican committees holding 86.8% of that total. Federal agencies obligated $172,714,552,032 across 368,371 Oklahoma-coded awards. A 86.8% receipt share still says nothing about who received the awards.

Key figures

  • Oklahoma FEC receipts: $29.3 million from 639 committees.
  • Republican committees reported 86.8% of FEC receipts — not of awards.
  • Oklahoma USAspending: $172,714,552,032 across 368,371 awards.
  • Campaign contributions are not federal awards.

Oklahoma as a two-extract state code

OK joins $29.3 million from 639 committees to $172,714,552,032 from 368,371 awards. A Tulsa contribution does not become an Oklahoma City obligation because both rows say Oklahoma.

368,371 is a larger action count than several states with nearby obligation totals. Pair the count with $172,714,552,032. Oklahoma campaign finance, Oklahoma USAspending, and All FEC ties are the three hrefs.

Tribal award stories belong on Oklahoma USAspending when those recipient types appear. They do not belong in a sentence that treats $29.3 million as the funding source of $172,714,552,032. Keep the two sentences separate.

State-office campaigns in Oklahoma file under state law and sit outside $29.3 million. Local procurement paid without a federal award sits outside $172,714,552,032. 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.

A Republican-heavy FEC book

Republican committees reported $25.5 million (86.8%). Democratic committees reported $3.8 million (13.0%). Other filers reported $0.0 million (0.1%). Copying 86.8 percent onto $172,714,552,032 would assign party to awards this file does not party-code.

639 committees include residual filers. Sort Oklahoma campaign finance by receipts. State races file with Oklahoma’s system, outside $29.3 million.

Energy folklore is not a packet dollar share. Open Oklahoma USAspending for agency fields. Keep 86.8% Republican receipts on the FEC sentence only. Do not paint awards with that percentage.

639 is a filing count, not a November ballot census. 368,371 is an action count, not unique vendors. Keep those nouns attached to the integers when citing Oklahoma.

What not to claim

That Republican-leaning receipts produced Republican-leaning contracts. That $29.3 million is small because agencies obligated $172,714,552,032 instead. The systems do not trade off.

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

Oklahoma’s 639 committees and 368,371 awards answer different questions. Keep $29.3 million on the FEC.gov sentence and $172,714,552,032 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.

Two metros, one statewide roll-up

Oklahoma City and Tulsa share OK with the rest of the state. This packet does not split $29.3 million or $172,714,552,032 among them. 639 committees and 368,371 awards stay statewide.

Print $0.0 million if you publish 86.8% and 13.0% so the pie still closes on $29.3 million. Then print obligations in a new sentence.

Amended candidate reports move $29.3 million. Award restatements move $172,714,552,032. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Oklahoma campaign finance and Oklahoma USAspending are the live tables; this prose is a packet snapshot for OK.
