STATE OF CALIFORNIA as FEC employer text: $8.1 million

A state payroll name, not the UC system

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. Employees of agencies, courts, and other units sometimes type STATE OF CALIFORNIA rather than a department legal name. The $8,112,855 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not the California general-fund budget, not a NAICS 92 public-administration rollup, and not a statewide party committee.

People who typed UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, a named agency, CITY OF LOS ANGELES, TEACHER, or US GOVERNMENT sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode those variants into STATE OF CALIFORNIA. The FEC field is not a CalHR export. Former employees who still type the state name remain among the 1,093.

1,093 donors and 43,952 lines

1,093 unique donors produced 43,952 STATE OF CALIFORNIA contribution lines totaling $8,112,855. That is on the order of 40 itemized receipts per donor — higher paperwork volume than STATE OF OHIO’s thinner cluster in this ranking’s neighborhood of state strings, still as a separate stored key. The packet does not publish a mean gift as its own FEC field.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and state-party filings are outside the $8,112,855 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear. Repeat names among 43,952 lines are expected.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA stays on its own page

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, STATE OF OHIO, STATE OF FLORIDA, and US GOVERNMENT are separate employer-name keys. Combining them with STATE OF CALIFORNIA would invent a public-sector recode. This page stays at $8,112,855 for STATE OF CALIFORNIA only.

Occupation pages show titles stored beside the state — attorney, analyst, retired — as typed. ATTORNEY AT LAW remains a title-style row for people who put the profession in the employer box instead of the state.

Donor table without agency-budget inference

The STATE OF CALIFORNIA donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a statehouse bill, a pension action, or a motive to that line. Hatch Act and state ethics rules are outside this page’s facts.

Follow committees on the table for party and office. This guide does not assign a partisan percentage to the state string. Coverage is itemized federal individual receipts only.

UC, named agencies, and other states stay out

STATE OF CALIFORNIA is not UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, not a named California agency, and not STATE OF OHIO or STATE OF FLORIDA. Those strings sit on other keys. The $8,112,855 total, 43,952 contribution lines, and 1,093 donors describe this government-employer phrase only. US GOVERNMENT remains a generic federal-employer row. TEACHER is a generic-title row.

Researchers who want a California public-sector recode must list UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, named agencies, and STATE OF OHIO as separate additions. The $8,112,855 figure does not absorb those rows. It stays on STATE OF CALIFORNIA as 1,093 donors and 43,952 lines. US GOVERNMENT remains a generic federal-employer row. Follow recipient committees on the STATE OF CALIFORNIA donor table.

Questions

How much have STATE OF CALIFORNIA-listed donors given federally?

LobbyVault attributes $8,112,855 to the STATE OF CALIFORNIA employer string, from 43,952 contributions and 1,093 donors. These are itemized individual receipts, not California’s party committees and not a NAICS public-administration total. Unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted from that figure.

Is this the same as UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA?

No. UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA is a separate employer string for people who typed the campus system. The $8,112,855 total is only receipts whose grouped text is STATE OF CALIFORNIA. Named agencies sit in other keys when typed. Figures here are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault.

Does this include Ohio or Florida state employees?

No. STATE OF OHIO and STATE OF FLORIDA are separate employer strings. A receipt counted here carries the grouped text STATE OF CALIFORNIA. US GOVERNMENT is another generic public-employer key. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Coverage is itemized federal individual receipts only.

How many unique donors listed STATE OF CALIFORNIA?

The rollup counts 1,093 donors and 43,952 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count — on the order of 40 itemized receipts per donor. This is not a California employee headcount. Coverage is itemized federal receipts only. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
