STATE OF FLORIDA as FEC employer: $53.0M from 380 donors

A government employer name in the industry table

Most 'industry' rows on LobbyVault are occupations or companies. STATE OF FLORIDA is an employer name that rose high enough in dollars to enter this harvest. The $53.0M total is itemized individual gifts from people whose grouped label is that employer string — not appropriations, not a state PAC, not Florida's general fund.

Agencies (DOT, a university, a court) that were typed instead of STATE OF FLORIDA are other keys. The FEC does not canonicalize state payroll into one NAICS code here.

380 donors, 13,116 lines, $53.0M

380 donors produced 13,116 contribution lines totaling $53.0M. That unique-donor count is tiny next to RETIRED or ATTORNEY. Large itemized gifts on a short list can produce a nine-figure-adjacent total. This page does not invent a mean.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Recipient committees are on the donor table. Nothing here is an official act of the State of Florida.

Not Florida candidates, not a state party

Searchers looking for Florida campaign-finance totals by geography should use LobbyVault state pages, not this employer string. STATE OF FLORIDA here is a workplace label that can belong to donors living anywhere who listed that employer.

Occupation pages show job titles (analyst, attorney, professor) next to this employer. Those titles are not folded into a NAICS overlay on this page. Florida's state campaign-finance portal and LobbyVault's Florida geography hub are different tools. This industry page is workplace text: $53.0M, 380 donors, 13,116 lines tagged STATE OF FLORIDA. Donors can live in any state and still list that employer. Agency names (a department, a university) are other keys.

Donor table

The STATE OF FLORIDA donor table lists disclosed names and amounts. A large gift is a public individual contribution. It is not a finding about a state contract or a budget line. LobbyVault does not infer motive from a public employer.

With 380 donors, the list is short enough to scan. Still match on committee and date when names collide. Public-employee contribution rules (Hatch Act and state analogs) are legal questions this rollup does not grade. The 380-person table lists disclosed federal itemized gifts. It is not an ethics opinion.

Follow recipient committees from the table. This is not Florida's official campaign-finance portal. County and city employers are not inside $53.0M. Neither is the Florida state party as a committee. Keep the employer string and the geography hub separate in citations.

Public employers versus Florida as a geography

STATE OF FLORIDA in this table is workplace text. It is not LobbyVault's Florida state hub, not the Florida Division of Elections, and not $53.0M of state treasury money. The 13,116 contribution lines and 380 donors are itemized federal individual receipts with that employer string. Agency names, universities, counties, and cities are other keys. Unitemized gifts and state-candidate filings are omitted.

Ethics and Hatch Act questions are outside this rollup. Occupation pages show job titles next to STATE OF FLORIDA. Open the donor table for names and federal recipient committees. The employer string is self-reported FEC text, not a NAICS public-administration code, from FEC.gov via LobbyVault. Occupation titles next to STATE OF FLORIDA live on occupation pages. They do not split the $53.0M total. Source: FEC.gov via LobbyVault, not a NAICS public-administration table and not state treasury spending. Do not cite $53.0M as Florida geography or as state treasury money. Cite it as workplace text: STATE OF FLORIDA, 380 donors, 13,116 lines. Donors can live anywhere. Agency, university, county, and city employer names are other keys. LobbyVault's Florida state hub is the geography tool. The state campaign-finance portal is another tool. Hatch Act and state ethics questions are not graded here. Occupation titles next to this employer live on occupation pages and do not split $53.0M. Unitemized gifts and state-candidate filings are omitted. Source: FEC.gov via LobbyVault, not NAICS public administration.
