According to a search at the Ohio Secretary of State contributions to candidate page, Stivers' campaign committee received money from Bank One Corp. PAC in 2003 ($2500) and 2004 ($2500). Also, Stivers received contributions from Bank One employees (2004= $1100, 2003=$2,225).
I have also been exploring the 2006 election results for Ohio's 15th congressional district. Here is information from the Ohio Secretary of State's page on 2006:
| DISTRICT NUMBER: 15 | ||||
| COUNTY | Bill Buckel (WI) | Mary Jo Kilroy | *Deborah Pryce | |
| Non-Partisan | Democratic | Republican | ||
| Franklin ** | 173 | 98,978 | 91,432 | |
| Madison | 0 | 5,075 | 8,337 | |
| Union | 21 | 5,620 | 10,966 | |
| Total | 194 | 109,673 | 110,735 | |
| Percentage of Votes | 0.09% | 49.72% | 50.20% | |
Democrat Mary Jo Kilroy actually won Franklin County in 2006. I don't think Stivers will even get close to Pryce's total votes. With job losses, foreclosures, and banks under scrutiny by the FDIC, why would anyone vote for a candidate like Stivers who is in thick with banks and oil companies? Kilroy cares about people. Stivers loves banks and oil.
