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

LobbyVault attributes $3,552,951 to the STATE OF TEXAS employer string, from 14,052 contributions and 594 donors. These are itemized individual receipts on FEC.gov, not official state funds and not a NAICS public-administration total. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.

Is this the State of Texas’s own campaign account?

No. The $3.6M total is contributor disclosures that listed STATE OF TEXAS as employer or occupation. Official state accounts are not the payor. The FEC field records what filers typed, not an institutional budget line. Unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.

Does this include University of Texas staff?

Only if the grouped employer text is STATE OF TEXAS. UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS is a separate grouped string. A receipt counted here carries STATE OF TEXAS. Staff who typed only FEDERAL GOVERNMENT sit in that generic row instead. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.

How many unique donors listed STATE OF TEXAS?

The rollup counts 594 donors and 14,052 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not an employee headcount of Texas state government. Figures are limited to the FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.

STATE OF TEXAS money in federal elections

Filers who listed STATE OF TEXAS on federal campaign reports account for $3.6M ($3,552,951) in itemized receipts on FEC.gov. The cluster holds 14,052 contributions and 594 donors. STATE OF TEXAS is a generic state-employer stamp as typed — staff, contractors, or others using that line — not a NAICS public-administration code, not the State of Texas as a campaign committee, and not TEXAS, CITY OF AUSTIN, or UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS as sibling keys.

Key figures

STATE OF TEXAS as FEC employer text totals $3.6M ($3,552,951) from 594 donors.
14,052 contribution lines sit under that generic state-employer stamp.
UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS, CITY OF AUSTIN, and FEDERAL GOVERNMENT are separate FEC keys.
The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or state PAC total.

State-employer text, not a Texas appropriations recode

Five hundred ninety-four unique donors produced 14,052 contributions totaling $3,552,951. About 24 itemized gifts per person and a mean gift near $253 describe the arithmetic. Official state funds and the State of Texas itself are not the payor in this rollup. FEC individual itemizations record what the contributor listed as employer. These rows are the self-reported STATE OF TEXAS string plus itemized amounts.

Top employer matches STATE OF TEXAS. TEXAS as a one-word stamp, STATE OF TEXAS AGENCY names, UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS, and CITY OF HOUSTON can exist as other keys. They are not inside $3,552,951 unless they grouped to STATE OF TEXAS. LobbyVault does not recode agency legal names into this generic stamp.

Who can appear among 594 donors

State employees, spouses using the same shorthand, contractors, and former staff who still write the old employer can all land in the cluster. The FEC does not certify current payroll. Unique-donor count is matching text, not a headcount of Texas state government. Mean per donor is about $5,981 from $3,552,951 divided by 594 people.

Occupation fields such as ATTORNEY, TEACHER, or ADMINISTRATOR are a separate cut. Use occupation breakdowns for titles. This page stays on the STATE OF TEXAS industry key. The packet does not publish an agency split or a cycle year.

What 14,052 contributions omit

No party split, no cycle year, and no distinction between agency sit on the industry headline. Recipients and dates are on FEC.gov and on the STATE OF TEXAS donor table. Unitemized gifts never appear in the $3.6M figure.

TEXAS, UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS, FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, and CITY OF AUSTIN are other employer strings. This total is STATE OF TEXAS only. Combining those labels would invent a Texas-public-sector recode the FEC did not store.

Donor table without agency inference

The STATE OF TEXAS donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach an agency, a legislative vote, or a motive to that line. Alumni who still type the generic stamp share the string with current staff. The FEC field is not an HR file.

Follow committees on the table for party and office. This guide does not assign a partisan percentage to the state-employer stamp. Coverage is itemized federal individual receipts only. Repeat names among 14,052 lines from 594 people are expected.

Generic STATE OF TEXAS versus UT, cities, and one-word TEXAS

STATE OF TEXAS keyed $3.6M from 14,052 contributions and 594 donors. UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS and CITY OF AUSTIN are sibling public-employer pages with their own keys. TEXAS as a one-word stamp and FEDERAL GOVERNMENT are generic keys; they are not assumed to contain state staff who typed STATE OF TEXAS. Occupation breakdowns list titles stored beside this employer.

Read $3,552,951 as the STATE OF TEXAS cluster only. About 24 gifts per person, a mean gift near $253, and about $5,981 per donor are packet arithmetic. Unitemized gifts and official state accounts sit outside the $3.6M unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS, CITY OF HOUSTON, and FEDERAL GOVERNMENT remain other keys.
