Lobbyist political contributions from Ohio

Lobbyist and Ohio as an advocacy-title join

Occupation LOBBYIST and donor state OH produce $336,412, 632 contributions, and 62 donors. The occupation hub is $15,512,853, 29,384 contributions, and 2,173 donors. Dollar, contribution, and donor shares cluster within a few points (2.2%, 2.2%, 2.9%). Ohio tracks the national Lobbyist mix rather than concentrating one of the three measures. Ohio Lobbyist is a small-dollar slice of a large national advocacy-title book.

Lobbyist is a one-word advocacy title as typed, not a registration extract. Nearby strings — GOVERNMENT RELATIONS, GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS, LOBBYING, and ADVOCATE — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $336,412 or $15,512,853. GOVERNMENT RELATIONS is a different stored string with its own Kentucky tie in this slice; do not stack those dollars here.

Sixty-two Ohio donors produced 632 contributions, about 10.2 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 13.5 rows per donor nationally (29,384 contributions from 2,173 donors). Mean dollars per donor in this Ohio cell are about $5,426, versus about $7,139 across the occupation. Those ratios are arithmetic on the six packet numbers, not a gift-size ranking of influence.

LOBBYIST versus Government Relations as stored strings

LOBBYIST is filer-entered. The FEC file does not verify an Ohio JLEC registration, a federal LDA filing, or a named client. The national grouping is 2,173 donors, 29,384 contributions, and $15,512,853.

29,384 contributions from 2,173 donors shows repeat itemization nationwide. Ohio’s 632 contributions from 62 donors is the OH-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 Ohio.

Sixty-two Ohio donors on the state side

Sixty-two Ohio donors produced 632 contributions totaling $336,412. Donor state OH is the address on the record, not proof of a Ohio professional license, and not a limit to Ohio candidates. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee.

The Ohio campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to OH. This join is only LOBBYIST. Subtract $336,412 from $15,512,853 and $15,176,441 remains coded Lobbyist in every other state combined (28,752 contributions, 2,111 donors). That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties.

A lobbyist cell is not a JLEC extract

This page does not measure lobbyist output, does not rank firms, and does not claim that Lobbyist-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Not an Ohio Joint Legislative Ethics Committee 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 OH is not recipient geography.

Advocacy titles that remain separate

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 $336,412, 632 contributions, and 62 donors on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Ohio dollars, or only the Lobbyist national total, drops a key.

Lobbyist donations holds the $15,512,853 national occupation total. Ohio 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. GOVERNMENT RELATIONS, GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS, LOBBYING, 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. GOVERNMENT RELATIONS is a different stored string with its own Kentucky tie in this slice; do not stack those dollars here.
