Oregon campaign finance next to federal obligations

Oregon candidate committees reported $28.1 million on FEC.gov, with Democratic committees holding 80.0% of that book. Federal agencies obligated $175,574,039,681 across 116,094 Oregon-coded awards. A 80.0% receipt share is a campaign-committee fact. It is not a share of the awards.

Key figures

  • Oregon FEC receipts: $28.1 million from 680 committees.
  • Democratic committees reported 80.0% of FEC receipts — not of awards.
  • Oregon USAspending: $175,574,039,681 across 116,094 awards.
  • OR geography joins the files. Donations do not fund awards on this page.

Oregon’s two ledgers share a postal code

OR joins $28.1 million from 680 committees to $175,574,039,681 from 116,094 awards. A Portland contribution does not become a Eugene obligation because both strings say Oregon.

116,094 is a smaller action count than many states in this series while $175,574,039,681 remains large. Row count is not efficiency. Oregon campaign finance, Oregon USAspending, and All FEC ties are the three doors.

Timber and hydro folklore is a search reason, not a NAICS share in this packet. If you need agency names, open Oregon USAspending. 80.0% Democratic receipts still do not color 116,094 awards.

State-office campaigns in Oregon file under state law and sit outside $28.1 million. Local procurement paid without a federal award sits outside $175,574,039,681. 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.

Democratic-majority FEC receipts

Democratic committees reported $22.5 million (80.0%). Republican committees reported $5.5 million (19.6%). Other filers reported $0.1 million (0.4%). 680 committees include residual filers. Sort Oregon campaign finance by receipts rather than treating the roster as a ballot.

State races file with Oregon’s system, outside $28.1 million. Copying 80.0 percent onto $175,574,039,681 would assign party to vendors this file does not party-code.

East of the Cascades and the I-5 corridor share OR. This packet does not split $28.1 million or $175,574,039,681 among them. 680 committees stay a statewide FEC roster.

680 is a filing count, not a November ballot census. 116,094 is an action count, not unique vendors. Keep those nouns attached to the integers when citing Oregon.

Oregon obligations without an FEC overlay

$175,574,039,681 covers award obligations coded to Oregon. 116,094 is the action count. Timber, hydro, and research folklore are not packet NAICS. Open Oregon USAspending for agency fields that exist.

Do not compute a mean award. Do not divide $175,574,039,681 by $28.1 million. Repeat awards add rows, so 116,094 is not unique vendors.

Quote Oregon campaign finance for the live FEC roster of 680 committees and $28.1 million in receipts. Quote Oregon USAspending for $175,574,039,681 and 116,094 awards. All FEC ties keeps OR in a series of geographic joins. None of those pages adds receipts to obligations or assigns FEC party codes to awards.

What Oregon’s join refuses

A combined Oregon federal-money sum. A partisan coloring of 116,094 awards. A claim that $28.1 million funded $175,574,039,681. Correlation of statewide size is not causation.

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

Oregon’s 680 committees and 116,094 awards answer different questions. Keep $28.1 million on the FEC.gov sentence and $175,574,039,681 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.

I-5 is not a hidden split

The Willamette Valley and the rest of Oregon share OR. This packet does not split $28.1 million or $175,574,039,681 by region. 680 committees and 116,094 awards stay statewide.

Print $0.1 million if you publish 80.0% and 19.6% so the pie still closes on $28.1 million. Then print obligations in a new sentence.

Amended candidate reports move $28.1 million. Award restatements move $175,574,039,681. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Oregon campaign finance and Oregon USAspending are the live tables; this prose is a packet snapshot for OR.

Oregon citation

Do not rank Oregon as more influential because $28.1 million sits beside $175,574,039,681. Influence is not a field in this packet. The join is OR geography only.
