Lobbying
Tracked lobbying clients
Selected client-name groups ranked by their reconciled federal lobbying totals, 2021–2026. Firm income is shown separately because it overlaps the client expense reports. A name with no matching filings has missing coverage; it does not establish zero lobbying.

Source: Senate Lobbying Disclosure Act filings (lda.gov REST API)Lobbyists' covered positions, from Senate LDA filings. Client expense reports include payments to retained firms. Each tracked name group uses its largest client expense report per quarter; firm income is used only when that quarter has no client expense report. Firm income shown separately overlaps those expenses. Covered positions are reported history, not proof of contact with a former employer. See About the data.
