Most Capitol Hires

What is counted. The number of different lobbyists whose most recent filing for the company was posted in the last 24 months and who name a covered position: a job in a member of Congress' office, on a committee or in the executive branch, held in the 20 years before the filing. A lobbyist who worked in both a member's office and an agency is counted in both of those columns. A position the filing does not place in a member's office, a committee or an agency still counts toward the total but in none of the three columns, so the columns need not add up to the total. Members are counted only where the office matches exactly one member of Congress.

The source is the covered-position disclosures in lobbying reports (LD-2) filed under the Lobbying Disclosure Act. Each row reflects what was disclosed at the time of filing. A lobbyist listed may no longer be registered. A company whose subsidiaries file separately may be under-counted if they file under different names or CIKs. Open Capitol Hires to see each lobbyist and filing. Information, not investment advice.
