Vermont FEC fundraising next to $31.0 billion in federal obligations

Vermont’s three-way receipt split meets a $31 billion award book

This join exists so a reader can see FEC receipts and USAspending obligations tagged VT without merging them. The $5.07 million and the $31.0 billion are both public. The obligation total is about 6,119 times the candidate-receipt total.

Two hundred five committees produced the receipt file. The other-party share of 33.2% is the distinctive FEC feature in this packet: $1.68 million is not a rounding line. LobbyVault reports the FEC party codes as filed and does not relabel them as Democratic or Republican.

Thirty-three thousand six hundred twenty-five awards sit under $31.0 billion. Award count here is in the same order of magnitude as Rhode Island’s 33,888 in this slice; that coincidence is not a ranking and not a safety comparison. Each state’s USAspending extract stands alone.

FEC.gov Vermont receipts

The $5,066,107.05 is candidate inflows, not cash on hand and not Super PAC independent expenditures. Vermont state-office campaigns file with the Vermont Secretary of State. Those reports are outside this join.

The Vermont campaign finance hub is the committee-level table for the 205 filers. Party shares on that hub are receipt shares, not donor counts.

USAspending.gov Vermont obligations

The $31.0 billion is recorded federal commitments tagged to Vermont. This packet does not split contracts from grants. Place-of-performance and recipient-location rules can each affect which dollars land in the state total. Detail lives on the Vermont USAspending hub.

Those award rows are not the 205 FEC committees. Donations of $5.07 million did not become $31.0 billion in obligations.

Thirty-three thousand six hundred twenty-five awards against $31,000,995,363.01 sits near Rhode Island’s 33,888 awards in this slice. Nearby row counts are not a ranking and not a safety comparison. Each state’s USAspending extract stands alone. Agency mix for Vermont lives on the Vermont USAspending hub.

Place-of-performance in a small state can still capture assistance and contract dollars under USAspending geography rules. The $31.0 billion is the indexed total, not a list of the 205 FEC committees.

Do not partisan-code the award file

A 33.2% other-party receipt share is unusual among the FEC columns in this slice. Exporting it onto 33,625 awards would still be a category error. USAspending does not carry FEC party. Correlation of two Vermont totals is not causation.

Election cycles and fiscal years remain different clocks. Live hubs override this snapshot after amendments.

Other-party receipts of $1,684,537.53 are 33.2% of $5,066,107.05 — larger than Republican receipts of $566,801.96 (11.2%). Democratic receipts of $2,814,767.56 are 55.6%. A three-way receipt split is the FEC distinctive. Exporting 33.2% onto 33,625 awards would still mix incompatible codes.

Vermont Secretary of State state-office filings are outside both columns. Independent expenditures are outside the $5.07 million.

Quoting a three-way FEC split beside a $31 billion award book

A complete citation: 205 Vermont-tagged federal candidate committees reported $5,066,107.05 on FEC.gov, including $2,814,767.56 Democratic, $566,801.96 Republican, and $1,684,537.53 other. USAspending.gov records $31,000,995,363.01 across 33,625 awards tagged to Vermont. Campaign contributions are not federal awards.

The 33.2% other-party share is unusual among the FEC columns in this slice. Unusual is not a license to apply it to obligations. The about-6,119-to-1 ratio is scale, not a missing transfer.

Live hubs control after amendments. This snapshot keeps packet dollars until a new extract replaces them.

Two hundred five committees produced $5,066,107.05. Thirty-three thousand six hundred twenty-five awards carry $31,000,995,363.01. The other-party $1,684,537.53 is larger than the Republican $566,801.96 inside the FEC column only. Keep that comparison inside receipts.

APOC-style state systems are not Vermont’s federal FEC file; Vermont Secretary of State state-office filings are the state analog and remain outside this join. Quote the live Vermont campaign finance hub and the live Vermont USAspending hub after amendments.

How much federal spending is tagged to Vermont?

USAspending.gov records $31,000,995,363.01 in obligations across 33,625 awards tagged to Vermont, as indexed on SpendingVault. That series is not FEC candidate receipts.

Did Vermont donations fund federal awards?

No. The $5.07 million in candidate receipts and the $31.0 billion in obligations come from different reporting systems. This page joins them on Vermont geography only.

Why is Vermont’s other-party FEC share 33.2%?

Other-party and unaffiliated candidate committees reported $1,684,537.53 of $5,066,107.05. That is the FEC party-code roll-up as filed. It does not describe USAspending awards.
