Basis · Amendments and terminations supersede the original report for the same registrant, client and period, so a revised quarter is counted once at its latest filed value. Registration-only filings carry no activity money and are excluded from these totals.
Who lobbies for them Every outside firm that has filed on this client's behalf, by fees reported.

The filings The 20 most recent of 72 filings. Every figure above is built from these records.
Period Registrant Type Reported Record 2nd Quarter (Apr 1 - June 30) 2026 Holland & Knight LLP 2nd Quarter - Report $40K fee Filing · LD-2 ↗ 1st Quarter (Jan 1 - Mar 31) 2026 Holland & Knight LLP
Coverage gaps · LD-2 reports a dollar figure per quarter, not per issue, per bill, or per lobbyist — so no breakdown on this page splits the total, and none is offered as one. Filings that report no activity money contribute filings and dates but no dollars.
This record groups every filed spelling of the client's name into one entity, so "MERCK & CO., INC." and "MERCK & CO INC" read as the same company. The grouping is the client's normalized name — organizations that file under genuinely different names appear separately. Handle: education-finance-council.
›
Reading this · LD-2 reports a hired firm's fee and a registrant's reported expenses on separate lines and never both on one filing, so the two lists above are different quantities and are ranked separately rather than against each other. Firm names link to their own record as the firms chapter lands.

Note · A filing names one to several issue areas and reports a single dollar figure for the period, so the same money appears beside every issue that filing declares. The dollar column is therefore spend on filings that named this issue — it is not a split of the total, and these figures sum above it. Filing counts do not double-count.
