Frequently Asked Questions
Organizations with low lobbying influence. Limited spending, narrow issue focus, or few connections to former government officials.
29 organizations in our database have an Influence Score of Grade D (Low). Combined, they have spent $56.9M on federal lobbying.
The Influence Score is a proprietary 0-100 metric based on three factors: total lobbying spend (40%), issue breadth, how many policy areas the organization lobbies on (30%), and revolving door connections, lobbyists with former government positions (30%). Grades range from A (highest influence) to F (minimal influence).
The Grade D category groups every U.S. federal lobbying disclosure entity sharing this attribute. The list above is the data; the paragraphs below explain what the grouping means against the broader the Senate Lobbying Disclosure Office LD-2 filings distribution and how to read the relative rankings within the category.
For readers using this category as a starting point, the per-entity detail pages linked from the table above carry the underlying the Senate Lobbying Disclosure Office LD-2 filings data in full. The category-level view is the filter; the per-entity pages are the actual answer.
