Indiana campaign finance next to federal obligations

USAspending.gov records $545,427,637,299.21 in federal obligations to Indiana recipients across 287,874 awards. FEC.gov candidate committees tagged to Indiana reported $32,227,836.88 in receipts across 1,170 filers. Award count is modest next to the obligation total — fewer rows than several states with smaller dollar books in this join family. That file shape is an award-mix fact. It is not explained by $32,227,836.88 in campaign receipts, and those receipts do not fund the awards.

Indiana obligations beside Indiana receipts

The spending extract is $545,427,637,299.21 and 287,874 awards. The FEC extract is $32,227,836.88 and 1,170 candidate committees. 1,170 committees is a larger filing count than some states with bigger receipt totals; many committees can report modest sums. 287,874 awards against $545,427,637,299.21 implies a heavier average action than a high-row, lower-dollar extract — still not a number this packet publishes as an average, and still unrelated to campaign accounts.

The USAspending.gov side

Obligations of $545,427,637,299.21 are legal commitments, not outlays. The 287,874 rows include contracts, assistance, and modifications. Repeat recipients add rows. This packet has no unique-vendor census.

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

FEC.gov: a Republican-committee majority of receipts

Indiana candidate receipts are $32,227,836.88 from 1,170 committees. Republican committees reported $21,283,588.19 (about 66.0%). Democratic committees reported $10,824,427.78 (about 33.6%). Other and unaffiliated filers reported $119,820.91 (about 0.4%). About 66.0% is a share of $32,227,836.88. It is not a share of $545,427,637,299.21.

1,170 is a filing count, not a contractor count and not a General Assembly roster. Party codes stay on the FEC side of the join.

Two-thirds of receipts is not two-thirds of awards

Printing a 66% Republican label on Indiana federal spending would attach a candidate-committee statistic to 287,874 awards that have no party field here. Do not. Adding $32,227,836.88 to $545,427,637,299.21 invents a combined total neither source publishes.

Correlation is not causation. Different statutes, different filers. Campaign money is not an award line item.

Indianapolis campaigns and local buying stay off this join

Indiana state-office campaigns file under Indiana law. Those reports never enter $32,227,836.88 and never enter $545,427,637,299.21. City and county procurement is outside USAspending.gov. The 287,874 award rows sit beside Kentucky’s 287,766 and Tennessee’s 287,801 in this family — similar action counts, different dollar books. That cluster is file shape, not a campaign pattern among 1,170 committees.

Independent expenditures are not extra packet facts. Republican $21,283,588.19 (about 66.0%), Democratic $10,824,427.78 (about 33.6%), and other $119,820.91 (about 0.4%) describe receipts only. Mapping 66.0% onto $545,427,637,299.21 invents a party field on awards.

Cite USAspending.gov for $545,427,637,299.21 and 287,874 awards. Cite FEC.gov for $32,227,836.88 and 1,170 committees. Indiana federal spending and Indiana FEC totals are the live tables. All spending ties is the index. Donations do not fund the obligations.

One thousand one hundred seventy committees produced $32,227,836.88. That is a different unit from 287,874 award actions and $545,427,637,299.21 in obligations. Quote each with its source. Indiana federal spending holds the award table. Indiana FEC totals holds the receipt table. All spending ties lists other pairs. Donations still do not fund the obligations.
