Missouri campaign finance next to federal obligations

Missouri’s high-row awards beside a mid-pack receipt book

The spending extract is $347,862,906,928.73 and 602,924 awards. The FEC extract is $55,961,677.70 and 1,122 candidate committees. North Carolina, just above Missouri on the obligation list in this family, shows a much larger FEC total. That ranking mismatch is expected if the two files do not fund each other.

Open Missouri federal spending for obligations. Open Missouri FEC totals for receipts. All spending ties lists other pairs. MO is a shared code, not a payment trail.

USAspending.gov in Missouri

The $347,862,906,928.73 total is obligations, not outlays. The 602,924 rows are award actions. Repeat recipients add rows. This packet has no unique-vendor census and no party field on awards.

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

One thousand one hundred twenty-two Missouri committees and 602,924 awards share only the MO code. $55,961,677.70 does not sit inside $347,862,906,928.73. Keep other $364,128.31 attached only to the FEC line.

FEC.gov: a slight Democratic-committee edge

Missouri candidate receipts are $55,961,677.70 from 1,122 committees. Democratic committees reported $28,803,068.53 (about 51.5%). Republican committees reported $26,794,480.86 (about 47.9%). Other and unaffiliated filers reported $364,128.31 (about 0.7%). About 51.5% / 47.9% is a receipt split, not an award split.

1,122 is a filing count, including primary challengers and residual committees. It is not Jefferson City’s state-office roster and not a contractor headcount.

A 51–48 split cannot label 602,924 awards

Printing a partisan share next to Missouri federal spending invents a party field. Adding $55,961,677.70 to $347,862,906,928.73 invents a combined total. Treating receipts as a rounding error inside 602,924 awards still mixes ledgers.

Correlation is not causation. Different statutes, different filers.
