STATE OF FLORIDA

Contributors who listed STATE OF FLORIDA on federal itemized receipts account for $53.0M, according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The cluster is 13,116 contributions from only 380 donors — one of the shortest unique-donor lists among high-dollar industry keys. STATE OF FLORIDA is a self-reported employer/occupation string, not a NAICS public-administration code, and it is not the State of Florida as a campaign committee. It is the workplace text people (or treasurers) typed, typically for a state payroll job. Hatch Act and state ethics rules are outside this rollup.

Key figures

  • STATE OF FLORIDA as an FEC employer string totals $53.0M.
  • Only 380 donors produced 13,116 contribution lines.
  • This is individual workplace text, not state government spending.
  • The label is self-reported FEC text, not a NAICS industry.

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.

Questions

How much have STATE OF FLORIDA employees given federally?
LobbyVault attributes $53.0M to the STATE OF FLORIDA employer string, from 13,116 contributions and 380 donors. Agency-specific employer names are separate. The label is not a NAICS public-administration total. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
Is this money from the State of Florida itself?
No. These are itemized individual contributions whose employer text is STATE OF FLORIDA. They are not state treasury disbursements and not a state committee's spending. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
Why only 380 donors but $53.0M?
The unique-donor count is 380 against 13,116 contribution lines. Repeat gifts and large itemized amounts can produce a high dollar total on a short list. The packet does not publish an average. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
Does this include all Florida public employees?
No. Only receipts grouped under the exact string STATE OF FLORIDA. County, city, university, and agency names are other industry keys if that is what donors typed. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.

Industry labels come from FEC employer/occupation self-reports, not NAICS. Data from FEC.gov via LobbyVault.
