Progressive Corporation

Progressive Corporation's $4.3M in disclosed federal lobbying puts it in the mid-tier of registered filers. Spending in the seven-figure range is common for established trade groups, mid-size corporations, and advocacy organizations that maintain a steady but not aggressive presence on Capitol Hill.

Across the 5-year window from 2020 to 2024, Progressive Corporation's annual disclosed lobbying spend has climbed modestly — from $780K in 2020 to $870K in 2024, a change of +12%. Step-changes of this size often coincide with major bills moving through Congress, regulatory rulemakings affecting the organization's industry, or a leadership change in the relevant committee.

Progressive Corporation's disclosed lobbying focuses on a narrow 4-issue footprint. A focused issue list usually means the organization concentrates its federal engagement on a small set of bills or rulemakings directly relevant to its core business.

1 of 3 lobbyists reported by Progressive Corporation (33%) disclose prior federal government service. That share is common at established government affairs operations that explicitly hire from agency and committee staff.

Progressive Corporation's LobbySpend Influence Score of 53/100 (grade C) is the most common grade in the index — it covers organizations with established but moderate federal advocacy programs.

A C-grade is typical of mid-size corporations and trade associations with steady quarterly filings on a focused issue set.
