Lobbying ≠ campaign money. These LDA lobbying figures are a separate, unbridged channel from FEC campaign contributions; this platform does not yet link a lobbying registrant to any FEC committee. See the methodology glossary.

Lobbying registrant · 401109235
11 filings on record; a reported $100,000 in total across them. Honesty note: each amount is the registrant's reported lobbying income/spend for that quarter (a lump sum required by the Lobbying Disclosure Act, or LDA — the law governing public lobbying reports), so this total is a gross sum of quarterly figures. The filings do disclose which bills were lobbied on (below), but never how much of the money went to any one bill, and never whether the filer supported or opposed it.
