STATE OF OHIO

Contributors who listed STATE OF OHIO on federal itemized receipts account for $9,902,902, according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The cluster is 9,359 contributions from 314 donors. STATE OF OHIO is a government-employer string as typed, not a NAICS public-administration total, and not Ohio’s state PAC. STATE OF CALIFORNIA and STATE OF FLORIDA are sibling state-name rows. Unique-donor count is small relative to the dollar total.

Key figures

  • STATE OF OHIO as FEC employer text totals $9,902,902 from 314 donors.
  • 9,359 contribution lines sit under that government-employer string.
  • STATE OF CALIFORNIA and US GOVERNMENT are separate FEC keys.
  • The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS public-administration sector.

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.

Questions

How much have STATE OF OHIO-listed donors given federally?
LobbyVault attributes $9,902,902 to the STATE OF OHIO employer string, from 9,359 contributions and 314 donors. These are itemized individual receipts, not Ohio’s party committees and not a NAICS public-administration total. Unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted from that figure.
Is this Ohio government political spending?
No. The $9,902,902 total is individual contributions whose employer text grouped to STATE OF OHIO. State treasury and party-committee filings are other categories. Named agencies sit in other employer keys when typed. Figures here are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault.
Does this include California or Florida state employees?
No. STATE OF CALIFORNIA and STATE OF FLORIDA are separate employer strings. A receipt counted here carries the grouped text STATE OF OHIO. US GOVERNMENT is another generic public-employer key. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Coverage is itemized federal individual receipts only.
How many unique donors listed STATE OF OHIO?
The rollup counts 314 donors and 9,359 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count — on the order of 30 itemized receipts per donor. This is not an Ohio employee headcount. Coverage is itemized federal receipts only. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
