Sam Randazzo was the chairman of the Ohio Public Utilities Commission
which is not a political position.  However, he was appointed by
Governor Mike DeWine, who is a Republican.  He also contributed
heavily to Republican organizations:

Note that he contributed mostly to Republican candidates, but also
contributed to a few Democrat candidates including Barack Obama and
Joe Biden:

Of course that's true.  Big groups is where the big money lives.  It
doesn't make much sense to steal small money from small groups.

"Ohio nuclear bribery scandal"
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohio_nuclear_bribery_scandal>

"Ohio arrests bribery case: Who are Larry Householder, Matt Borges,
Generation Now, others charged"
<https://www.zanesvilletimesrecorder.com/story/news/politics/2020/07/21/ohio-bribery-fbi-larry-householder-matt-borges-jeff-longstreth-juan-cespedes-neil-clark/5479443002/>

I looked up everyone mentioned in the above articles which held
political office and which profited from the bribery scandal.  All
were either Republicans or worked for Republican causes.  

There may have been a Democrat who was implicated but I couldn't find
one.
