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.
Fees billed to clientsIts own lobbying spend
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 they lobby for
Every client this registrant has billed a fee to represent, by fees reported.
Money reported as spent on lobbying rather than as a fee charged to a client.

The filings
The 20 most recent of 70 filings. Every figure above is built from these records.
This record groups every filed spelling of the registrant's name into one entity, so punctuation variants of the same firm read as one. The grouping is the registrant's normalized name — firms that file under genuinely different names appear separately. Handle: american-association-of-port-authorities.

Reading this · An LD-2 reports either a fee the registrant charged or expenses it spent, never both on one filing, so the two lists above are different quantities and are ranked separately rather than against each other. The expenses basis is what an organization lobbying on its own behalf files — usually for itself, sometimes for an affiliate under a different name — so a name on the second list is the client the filing names, not necessarily a claim that the registrant lobbied for someone else's account. Across every relationship on file — not just those shown — this registrant reported $500K in fees and $14M in expenses.

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 money 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.

What this shows · A row here means a lobbying activity in this firm'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.
