“FY27 House and Senate Defense Appropriations.”
Lobbying is legal, constitutionally protected petitioning, and since 1995 it has come with a paper trail. Every registered lobbyist files quarterly reports that anyone can read. This page puts that public record one search away.
Registrations, quarterly reports, and amendments posted so far this year.
New lobbyist-client relationships opened in 2026.
Activity reports for April through June, due in July, still arriving.
A full year of disclosure runs to tens of thousands of filings.
Anyone paid to lobby federal officials must register within 45 days of their first contact, once the money is real: more than $3,000 a quarter from a client, or $14,000 a quarter for an in-house team.
Every quarter: who paid them, roughly how much (rounded to the nearest $10,000), the issues they worked, which chambers and agencies they contacted, and each lobbyist's prior government jobs.
Income means a firm lobbying for clients; expenses means an organization lobbying with its own staff. A filing with no amount is usually activity under $5,000 for the quarter, reported by checkbox.
People under the 20%-of-time threshold never register, and grassroots campaigns, ad blitzes, and state-level lobbying live outside this database. What you see here is the floor, not the ceiling.
