Lobbying reported per quarter

reported amounts per quarter, latest version of each report

There are two charts here because there are two different amounts. A lobbying firm reports income: what it was paid. A company that lobbies for itself reports expenses: what it spent, under one of three accounting methods it picks itself. Both appear under this company, and they are not the same measurement — so they are never added, not in a bar and not in a total.

Reported income: what lobbying firms reported receiving from this company's clients, per quarter.

Reported expenses: what this company reported spending on its own lobbying, per quarter, under the accounting method it picked itself.

Before 2025, these bars cover only the lobbying relationships that were still active in 2025 or later. Engagements that ended earlier are not included, so those years may be higher than shown.

Recent activity

Register facts only. Everything on this page comes from filings made under the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 and kept by the Secretary of the Senate. We read the filings, we link a client to a listed company where a reviewed rule allows it, and we add nothing else. No score, no ranking and no judgement is attached to lobbying on this site. See the methodology and about this site.
