New Hampshire federal obligations next to FEC receipts

NH joins two tables; primary folklore does not

SpendingVault holds $59,091,096,735 in New Hampshire obligations. LobbyVault holds $30.6 million in New Hampshire candidate receipts. First-in-the-nation primary stories may send a reader to both hubs. Those stories are not a mapping from a contribution to an award ID. The join key is NH, shared by 29,975 award actions and 424 committees.

$59.1 billion in commitments is not a restatement of $30.6 million in receipts. Obligations are agency promises. Receipts are campaign bookings. Adding them invents a New Hampshire federal-money headline no agency published.

New Hampshire federal spending, New Hampshire FEC totals, and All spending ties are the three doors. None converts donations into spending.

29,975 award actions beside a large receipt book

29,975 is a record count. Assistance actions and modifications add rows. It is not a unique-recipient roster. $59,091,096,735 is the matching commitment sum. Mean dollars per action are about $1,971,346 if you divide those two facts — a calculator output, not a typical defense line. A smaller row count can still hold a large dollar total if a few awards dominate.

Place of performance tagged to New Hampshire can include work that later moves. Outlays can lag. This page does not contain an outlay total. Cite obligations when you quote {n['obl']}. Agency names live on New Hampshire federal spending, not inside the FEC roster.

Democratic-majority receipts on 424 committees

Democratic committees reported $19.1 million (62.3% of $30.6 million). Republican committees reported $11.5 million (37.6%). Other filers reported $31,889 (0.1%). 424 federal candidate committees tagged to New Hampshire sit behind those lines, including residual filers. A 62.3% receipt share is not a share of 29,975 awards.

Party codes travel with candidate committees. USAspending rows here have no Democratic flag. State races file with New Hampshire’s state system and sit outside the FEC total. Presidential committees tagged to New Hampshire remain FEC rows if stored that way; they do not become award actions.

Manchester versus the rest of the state is not in the file

This packet does not split $59,091,096,735 or $30.6 million between southern New Hampshire and the North Country. 29,975 awards and 424 committees are statewide. A regional cut would be a different extract. Independent expenditures about New Hampshire candidates can be paid from elsewhere and sit in neither total.

Do not divide $59,091,096,735 by $30.6 million and call the result a return on donations. The units are unlike. Population, contractor density, and federal program mix move the spending ledger without touching a campaign account. Correlation is not causation.

New Hampshire citation block

USAspending.gov: $59,091,096,735; 29,975 awards. FEC.gov: $30.6 million; 424 committees; Democratic $19.1 million; Republican $11.5 million; other $31,889. Two sentences. Campaign contributions are not federal awards.

424 is a filing count, not a primary turnout figure. 29,975 is an action count, not unique vendors. State-office campaigns file under New Hampshire law and sit outside the FEC extract. Local procurement paid without a federal award sits outside the obligation total.

A large receipt book is not a large award overlay

$30.6 million is large relative to New Hampshire’s award-row count, not relative to $59,091,096,735. Keep that contrast labeled as two reporting systems. Primary-calendar folklore remains outside both extracts unless it appears as an FEC filing.

A later ingest can restate the obligation total without touching receipts, and a later FEC file can restate receipts without touching awards. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. All spending ties does not publish a blended New Hampshire federal-money figure. Do not rank New Hampshire as more connected because receipts look large beside a modest action count. Influence is not a field in this packet.

Keep New Hampshire’s modest award-action count labeled as a record count, not a unique-vendor census. Primary-night maps are not a USAspending geography field. A researcher who wants both pictures keeps two tabs and does not add the totals.
