Methodology

Lobbying data comes from two sources. LDA filings are sourced from Senate disclosure records and linked to QPQ entities by name matching. LobbyView data is from the MIT/NSF-funded LobbyView project, provided under CC-BY-4.0 license. Dollar figures represent disclosed lobbying expenditures only and may not capture all influence activity. Revolving door flags are based on LobbyView covered position data. Bill-level lobbying shows which bills were referenced in lobbying filings, not whether the lobbying supported or opposed the bill.
