STATE OF MICHIGAN money in federal elections

Filers who listed STATE OF MICHIGAN as employer or occupation on federal itemized receipts account for $3.9M ($3,910,959) on FEC.gov. The cluster holds 12,220 contributions and 446 donors. The string is a state-government employer label as typed, not a NAICS state-administration code, not Michigan’s state PAC, and not a federal agency account.

Key figures

  • STATE OF MICHIGAN as FEC employer text totals $3.9M ($3,910,959) from 446 donors.
  • 12,220 contribution lines sit under that state-employer string.
  • FEDERAL GOVERNMENT and department-name keys are separate FEC fields.
  • The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or state PAC total.

State employer text on federal receipts

Four hundred forty-six unique donors produced 12,220 contributions totaling $3,910,959. About 27 itemized gifts per person and a mean gift near $320 describe the arithmetic. Official State of Michigan funds are not the payor in this federal rollup. FEC individual itemizations record what the contributor listed as employer. These rows are the self-reported STATE OF MICHIGAN string plus itemized federal amounts.

Top employer matches STATE OF MICHIGAN. MICHIGAN, STATE OF MI, and named departments can exist as other keys. They are not inside $3,910,959 unless they matched this exact label. LobbyVault does not recode department names into this state phrase.

Who can appear among 446 donors

State employees, contractors who wrote the state phrase, retirees who still use it, and spouses using the same shorthand can all land in the cluster. The FEC does not certify current state payroll. Unique-donor count is matching text, not a Michigan civil-service headcount. Mean per donor is about $8,773.

Occupation fields such as teacher, analyst, or attorney are a separate cut. Use occupation breakdowns for titles. This page stays on the STATE OF MICHIGAN industry key.

What 12,220 contributions omit

No department split, no cycle year, and no state-versus-university cut sit on the industry headline. Recipients and dates are on FEC.gov and on the STATE OF MICHIGAN donor table. Unitemized gifts never appear in the $3.9M figure.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, U S GOVERNMENT, and other STATE OF keys are separate employer strings. This total is STATE OF MICHIGAN only. Combining state labels would invent a state-government recode the FEC did not store.

Donor table without department inference

The STATE OF MICHIGAN donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a department, a campus, or a motive to that line. Retirees who still type the state phrase share the string with current staff.

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.
