Lobbyist political money from Kentucky

The occupation-and-state join for Lobbyist

Headline number: $260,383. Contribution count: 262. Donor keys: 29. Occupation total: $15,512,853 from 2,173 donors and 29,384 contributions. Remainder outside Kentucky: $15,252,470. Share of the occupation roll: 1.7%. Those quantities are the join. Everything else on this page explains what they are and are not.

Lobbyist in Kentucky is not Lobbyist in every state and is not Kentucky for every occupation. Mixing those frames is how a hub restatement sneaks in. 29 donor keys and $260,383 exist only at the intersection. An occupation string does not mean the money funded federal contracts, and it does not mean the title caused the gifts.

Reading the Lobbyist occupation denominator

$15,512,853 is the Lobbyist occupation book in this extract — every donor state harvested for this string, from 29,384 contributions. Kentucky contributes $260,383 (1.7%). The packet does not split the occupation total by party, and this page does not invent that split.

What 29 Kentucky Lobbyist donors represent

29 is a donor-record count. $260,383 is a dollar sum. $8,979 is their ratio. None of those is a unique-person census of the occupation in Kentucky. None is a median. None is a party split. The packet did not include those fields, so this page does not publish them.

Omitted from $260,383: independent expenditures, non-individual PAC spending as a separate total, unitemized tables below the itemization threshold, and USAspending obligations. Omitted from the occupation comparison: any occupation other than LOBBYIST, except as context that sibling strings exist.

Lobbyist’s share of its own occupation roll

1.7% of $15,512,853 is a defined slice. Other states hold $15,252,470. Put another way, about 1.7% of Lobbyist-coded itemized dollars in this aggregate were tagged donor state KY, and the rest were not. Those percentages are $260,383 divided by $15,512,853 and $15,252,470 divided by $15,512,853. They are not shares of licensed workers, eligible voters, or USAspending.

Dollar share (1.7%), contribution share (0.89%), and donor share (1.3%) are separate facts. This page does not publish a donor-count percentage as a substitute for the dollar share. Do not treat 1.7% as Lobbyist donors’ share of national itemized giving.

Then send the reader to the live Kentucky campaign finance page, the Lobbyist donations hub, all occupations, and all FEC ties. If you need named donors, those are other joins, not this file. This file stays aggregated. No donor names are supplied, and none are added.

Lobbyist next to other Kentucky occupation strings

Other occupation strings in Kentucky live on other tie pages. This file does not add their dollars to $260,383. Government Affairs, Consultant, and Public Affairs are the usual nearby labels. Opening All occupations is the way to find them. Opening All FEC ties is the way to find other occupation-state cells.

Do not invent donor names to illustrate 29 keys. The aggregate is the published object. Named individuals belong on other LobbyVault pages if those pages exist; they are not supplied here.

Repeat the join in one sentence for citation: occupation Lobbyist, donor state Kentucky (KY), $260,383 itemized, 262 contributions, 29 donors, 1.7% of $15,512,853 from 2,173 national donors. LOBBYIST is the occupation string on the contribution. LDA registration and state lobbyist licenses are other systems. Consultant is a different occupation key. Government Affairs, Consultant, and Public Affairs stay on other occupation pages. The Kentucky campaign finance hub still mixes every other title. All occupations and All FEC ties are indexes, not extra dollar columns.

What a reader may not do with $260,383: treat it as payroll, treat 29 as a workforce census, treat 1.7% as a share of Kentucky statewide receipts, or treat the cell as money that funded USAspending awards. What a reader may do: quote the pair, quote the source FEC.gov, and follow the four internal links. Mean about $994 per contribution and $8,979 per donor remain attached to 262 and 29. About 9.0 lines per donor remains 262 divided by 29.

Why does this page exist if occupation and state hubs already exist?

Because two tables meet. The occupation hub answers Lobbyist across states ($15,512,853). The state hub answers Kentucky across occupations. This tie answers only Lobbyist inside Kentucky: $260,383, 262 gifts, 29 donors. All FEC ties lists other such pairs.

What is omitted from $260,383?

Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, committee-to-committee transfers as a separate table, USAspending awards, and receipts whose occupation string was not LOBBYIST. Sibling titles such as Government Affairs, Consultant, and Public Affairs are other rows. Source: FEC.gov occupation-state aggregates. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Donor state is the address on the itemized record.
