Federal lobbying disclosure: client, firm, issue, and industry spend
Odette Stroud leads how LobbySpend reads and presents federal lobbying disclosures from the Senate Lobbying Disclosure Act (LDA) database. The role decides which filing fields each company, firm, issue, and industry page uses, how client and registrant names are normalized to a single entity, and how spend is rolled up by quarter and bracket midpoint. Lobbying figures are drafted with AI assistance and editorially reviewed against the underlying Senate LDA releases and supplemental FEC data before publication.
