Government Relations political contributions from Kentucky

Government Relations and Kentucky as a desk-phrase join

Occupation GOVERNMENT RELATIONS and donor state KY produce $307,661, 392 contributions, and 36 donors. The occupation hub is $10,141,599, 21,145 contributions, and 1,398 donors. Dollar, contribution, and donor shares cluster within a few points (3.0%, 1.9%, 2.6%). Kentucky tracks the national Government Relations mix rather than concentrating one of the three measures. Kentucky Government Relations is a small-dollar slice of a large desk-phrase occupation.

Government Relations is a desk phrase as typed, not a Lobbyist recode. Nearby strings — LOBBYIST, GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS, PUBLIC AFFAIRS, and ADVOCATE — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $307,661 or $10,141,599. LOBBYIST is a different stored string. This Kentucky cell is not the Ohio Lobbyist tie.

Thirty-six Kentucky donors produced 392 contributions, about 10.9 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 15.1 rows per donor nationally (21,145 contributions from 1,398 donors). Mean dollars per donor in this Kentucky cell are about $8,546, versus about $7,254 across the occupation. Those ratios are arithmetic on the six packet numbers, not a gift-size ranking of influence.

GOVERNMENT RELATIONS versus Lobbyist

GOVERNMENT RELATIONS is filer-entered. The FEC file does not verify a Kentucky lobbyist registration or a federal LDA filing. The national grouping is 1,398 donors, 21,145 contributions, and $10,141,599.

21,145 contributions from 1,398 donors shows repeat itemization nationwide. Kentucky’s 392 contributions from 36 donors is the KY-coded piece. This page does not split those rows by cycle, employer, or recipient committee. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Kentucky.

Thirty-six Kentucky donors on the contribution record

Thirty-six Kentucky donors produced 392 contributions totaling $307,661. Donor state KY is the address on the record, not proof of a Kentucky professional license, and not a limit to Kentucky candidates. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee.

The Kentucky campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to KY. This join is only GOVERNMENT RELATIONS. Subtract $307,661 from $10,141,599 and $9,833,938 remains coded Government Relations in every other state combined (20,753 contributions, 1,362 donors). That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties.

A desk-phrase cell is not an ethics-registration extract

This page does not measure government relations output, does not rank firms, and does not claim that Government Relations-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Not a Kentucky Executive Branch Ethics registration extract, not an LDA filing, and not a firm roster.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Itemized individual contributions only. Firm names, license numbers, and employer strings are not in these six numbers. Donor state KY is not recipient geography.

Advocacy strings that remain unmerged

A unique-donor count is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total can hide that skew. Keeping $307,661, 392 contributions, and 36 donors on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Kentucky dollars, or only the Government Relations national total, drops a key.

Government Relations donations holds the $10,141,599 national occupation total. Kentucky campaign finance holds the state’s itemized individual activity across occupations. All occupations and all FEC ties collect other occupation-state pairs from the same two fields. LOBBYIST, GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS, PUBLIC AFFAIRS, is a different occupation string if a filer used it.

This relationship is not a forecast and not a ranking of influence. Occupation does not cause contributions, and donor state does not cause recipient geography. Public records, two fields, one intersection. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates; occupation labels are filer-entered. LOBBYIST is a different stored string. This Kentucky cell is not the Ohio Lobbyist tie.
