Stivers: Big Money from Financial Sector

  Sunlight Foundation has found that Steve Stivers has received 55% of his contributions for his congressional campaigns (2007-2010) from out of the state of Ohio.  In that span of time (2007-2010), Stivers has received $585,086 in contributions from the Finance/Insurance/Real Estate sector (people and PACs associated with insurance, banks, Wall Street, real estate, and other financial concerns). Stivers definitely has some big moneyed friends.

Which companies/employees/PACs have contributed big money to the Stivers campaign?

More from Sunlight:

American Electric Power, Limited Brands, Huntington Bancshares, Nationwide, JPMorgan Chase & Co., Worthington Industries, Vorys, Sater et al, Grange Mutual Casualty, Freedom Project,......

Why do you think that those bankers and insurance companies are supporting Stivers?  What has he said that makes them want to write checks for his campaign?
