What a company won is on its page. So is what it asks the government for.
A company page says what a company has won and from whom. It could not say what the company asks Congress and the agencies for, or who it pays to ask. The Senate and the House publish that, filing by filing, under the Lobbying Disclosure Act: the firm, the client, the issues, the government bodies contacted, and what was reported as paid or spent.
One row a filing, the newest posted first
The Lobbying filings screen is under Intelligence in the menu, in Companies and records. Search by words from the client or the firm, and narrow by the year, the issue or a government body.
Each row gives the client, the firm it hired or that it lobbies for itself, the kind of filing and its period, the issues, and what was reported: paid to the firm, or spent by the company itself. A row opens the filing: each thing lobbied on, with its description and the bodies contacted, and a link to the filing itself at LDA.gov.
- A filing that amends an earlier one is shown in its place
- Where no amount was reported, the row says none reported
- The names of lobbyists are not kept, and are on no screen
Lobbying on file
A company with filings carries a card on its own page. By year: what it reported spending on its own lobbying, what the firms it hired reported being paid by it, how many firms and how many filings.
Under that are the firms it hired, the issues it lobbied on and the government bodies contacted, each counted, and its latest filings.
Who lobbied an agency
An agency page carries a card as well: who lobbied this agency, year by year, with the number of filings, the number of clients, and the clients whose filings named it most often.
It is counted only where a filing names that agency itself among the bodies contacted. A filing reports one amount for everything in it, so no amount is given for one agency.
How a client is tied to a company
A client on a filing is a name and sometimes a state. It is tied to a company on record only where that name is the name of exactly one company here, and every place that shows the tie says what it rests on. A filing whose client cannot be tied is still in the list, under the name it was filed with.
Every screen and card ends with the day the filings were retrieved.
The lobbying filings of the Senate and the House
About 1.8 million filings are on file, from 1999 to 2026. The figure is rounded down.
Where it stops
Lobbying filings comes with every paid plan, and a search lists as many rows as your plan lists for any search. A filing is what the firm or the company reported, and it is shown as filed. An issue or a government body is searched one year at a time. Lobbying is disclosed by issue and by body, not by contract, so a filing does not say which award it was about.
Where it is in the app
Lobbying filings, under Intelligence in the menu, in Companies and records. Intelligence is the part of LastAwarded that finds the market, one of the eight parts.
