Every filing period on record, as reported. One column per filed period — a period with no column is a period with no filing, not a zero.
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.
Members of Congress whose sponsored or cosponsored bills were named in this client's lobbying filings from the same Congress, ranked by matched filings.

The filings
The 20 most recent of 182 filings. Every figure above is built from these records.
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: specialty-equipment-market-association.
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.

How these are found · Bill references are extracted from the free-text activity description each filing writes, then matched to the Congress in session that filing year. A reference we can't match to a bill on file is still shown, unlinked — we cite what the filing said rather than guess at what it meant. Naming a bill is not a position on it: LD-2 records that a client lobbied on the bill, never which side.
What this shows · A row here means a lobbying activity in this client's filings named a bill this member is on record sponsoring or cosponsoring in the same Congress — a bill-reference match, not a claim that the filing named the member's office. Bill numbers are reused every Congress, so the match is scoped to the Congress the filing was made under; a filing that cites an enacted law by its original bill number can therefore land on a later Congress's bill of the same number. Member names and bill references are cited as filed; both link to their own record once their sections leave beta.
