The Republican candidate for Ohio's 15th congressional district, Steve Stivers, has been courting the same PACs and business leaders that Republican Rep. Deborah Pryce had as contributors. According to a listing from the FEC (Federal Election Commission), the PACs are pouring in their money to help Stivers, a former bank lobbyist, and now member of the Ohio legislature. In a recent report from the FEC, Stivers received substantial campaign money from PACs which represent banks, insurance companies, health insurers, and large corporations. These PACs are hoping to get a business/corporation protectionist into the House of Representatives.
However, according to the FEC website (as of today), there have been no individual contributors. Regular citizens have not given campaign money to Stivers as yet.
Democratic candidate for Ohio's 15th, Mary Jo Kilroy, has PAC contributions too, according to the FEC. However, these contributions are from worker/employee/group PACs. The FEC lists many individual contributors for Kilroy for the 2006 race and for 2008 election.
