Sikorsky Aircraft

Sikorsky Aircraft's $2.3M 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, Sikorsky Aircraft's annual disclosed lobbying spend has declined modestly — from $451K in 2020 to $398K 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.

Sikorsky Aircraft's disclosed lobbying focuses on a narrow 3-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.

Of the 2 lobbyists named in Sikorsky Aircraft's recent filings, none disclose prior federal government service. The "revolving door" indicator captures only positions explicitly reported on the LDA cover sheet, so the figure can understate ties to former officials.

Within the Defense & Aerospace sector, Sikorsky Aircraft ranks #26 of 36 tracked organizations by disclosed lobbying spend. The sector leader is Lockheed Martin at $69.2M; the sector average is $12.6M. Sikorsky Aircraft's $2.3M sits 82% below the sector average.

Sikorsky Aircraft's LobbySpend Influence Score of 37/100 (grade D) places it in the lower tier of registered filers. The grade does not imply anything about effectiveness or intent — it simply reflects that disclosed spend, issue breadth, and revolving-door staffing are all below the index median. Many D-grade filers are issue-specific or coalition-based and rely on indirect advocacy through trade groups.

Every figure above is sourced from Senate lobbying disclosure filings submitted under the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995. Per-issue dollar splits and covered-position flags are filer-reported and may be amended after initial submission.
