Arizona campaign finance next to federal obligations

Arizona’s heavier-dollar, lower-row award file

The spending extract is $396,629,055,483.28 and 192,830 awards. The FEC extract is $64,323,828.19 and 1,040 candidate committees. Ohio, in this same family, shows 524,221 awards against a similar obligation band. Arizona’s 192,830 is a different file shape. Neither shape is produced by $64,323,828.19 in candidate receipts.

The $396,629,055,483.28 total is obligations, not outlays. The 192,830 rows are award actions, including modifications. Repeat recipients add rows. This packet has no unique-vendor census and no typical-award size.

Arizona federal spending is the live award hub. It does not list FEC donors.

One thousand forty Arizona committees and 192,830 awards share only the AZ code. $64,323,828.19 does not sit inside $396,629,055,483.28. A lower award-row count is not a campaign result.

FEC.gov: a modest Democratic-committee edge

Arizona candidate receipts are $64,323,828.19 from 1,040 committees. Democratic committees reported $33,510,617.15 (about 52.1%). Republican committees reported $30,238,144.27 (about 47.0%). Other and unaffiliated filers reported $575,066.77 (about 0.9%). About 52.1% / 47.0% is a receipt split, not an award split.

1,040 is a filing count. It is not Phoenix’s state-office roster and not a contractor headcount. The 0.9% other share is thicker than Tennessee’s remainder and thinner than Minnesota’s other line.

Do not turn 192,830 rows into a campaign story

A lower award count next to a high obligation total can look like “bigger contracts.” This packet does not publish an average, so none is quoted. Mapping 52.1% Democratic onto those rows invents a party field. Adding $64,323,828.19 to $396,629,055,483.28 invents a combined total.

Correlation is not causation. Different statutes, different filers.

Phoenix campaigns and local procurement stay off this join

Arizona state-office campaigns file under Arizona law. Those reports never enter $64,323,828.19 and never enter $396,629,055,483.28. City and county procurement is outside USAspending.gov. Award count 192,830 is low relative to Ohio’s 524,221 against a similar obligation band. That difference is file mix — fewer small assistance rows versus more large actions — not a result of 1,040 candidate committees.

Independent expenditures are not extra packet facts. Democratic $33,510,617.15 (about 52.1%), Republican $30,238,144.27 (about 47.0%), and other $575,066.77 (about 0.9%) describe receipts only. Mapping 52.1% onto 192,830 awards invents a party field. This packet does not publish a typical-award size, so none is quoted.
