STATE OF OHIO as FEC employer text: $9.9 million

A state payroll name on federal receipts

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. Employees of agencies, universities, and other units sometimes type STATE OF OHIO rather than a department legal name. The $9,902,902 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not the Ohio general-fund budget, not a NAICS 92 public-administration rollup, and not a statewide party committee.

People who typed a named agency, CITY OF COLUMBUS, TEACHER, or US GOVERNMENT sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode those variants into STATE OF OHIO. The FEC field is not an Ohio HR export. Former employees who still type the state name remain among the 314.

314 donors and 9,359 lines

314 unique donors produced 9,359 STATE OF OHIO contribution lines totaling $9,902,902. That is on the order of 30 itemized receipts per donor. Unique-donor count is among the smaller sets in this dollar band, so dollars concentrate among fewer named people than TEACHER or IBM clusters nearby in the ranking. 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 $9,902,902 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear. Repeat names among 9,359 lines are expected.

Other state strings and US GOVERNMENT stay separate

STATE OF CALIFORNIA, STATE OF FLORIDA, and US GOVERNMENT are separate employer-name keys. Combining them with STATE OF OHIO would invent a public-sector recode. This page stays at $9,902,902 for STATE OF OHIO only. USPS is a more specific federal-employer spelling.

Occupation pages show titles stored beside the state — attorney, administrator, 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 OHIO 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.

Named agencies and other state strings stay out

STATE OF OHIO is not a named Ohio agency, not CITY OF COLUMBUS, and not STATE OF CALIFORNIA. Those strings sit on other keys. The $9,902,902 total, 9,359 contribution lines, and 314 donors describe this government-employer phrase only. US GOVERNMENT and USPS remain federal-employer rows. Unique-donor count is small relative to the dollar total.

Unitemized gifts, state races, and party-committee filings stay outside the $9,902,902 unless an individual receipt carries this string. Occupation pages show titles beside STATE OF OHIO. Former employees who still type the state name remain in the 314. The FEC field is not an Ohio HR export and not NAICS 92.

Open the STATE OF OHIO donor table for disclosed names and committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution, not a statehouse-bill or pension inference. Cite $9,902,902, 9,359 contributions, and 314 donors from FEC.gov via LobbyVault. Labels are FEC employer/occupation self-reports. Do not add other state strings to this key and call the sum a public-sector industry.

Researchers who want a public-sector recode must list named Ohio agencies, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, and US GOVERNMENT as separate additions. The $9,902,902 figure does not absorb those rows. It stays on STATE OF OHIO as 314 donors and 9,359 lines. Party-committee filings remain other FEC categories unless an individual receipt carries this string. Follow recipient committees on the STATE OF OHIO donor table. Unique-donor count is small relative to dollars.
