Gov Influence analytical brief

Bottom-line assessment

Gov Influence assessmentModerate confidence

McGinley LLC’s reviewed filing pattern for Meta continued across both quarters, with Computer Industry recurring.

CPI appears in 2 retained filings across Q1 and Q2; the firm’s profile contains 2 filings and 3 official issue codes.

Evidence and reasoning

Reasoning: The same approved registrant identity appears in canonical client filings in both quarters, and the same official issue code recurs across that span. Together those observations support a bounded assessment of a continuing disclosed filing pattern, while filing cadence and issue codes cannot establish priority, access, position, effectiveness, or policy impact.

Scope: 2026 Q1–Q2, within the reviewed Gov Influence collection for McGinley LLC.

Other plausible interpretation

  • Quarterly LDA reporting cadence and the breadth of the CPI category may account for part of the recurrence; this two-quarter selection does not establish a longer-term pattern or work beyond the retained filings.

These findings measure activity in retained disclosures; they do not rate access, effectiveness, or policy impact.

Supporting analysis

Key findings

Calculated from recordsHigh confidence

McGinley LLC appears in 2 retained filings for 1 reviewed client.

1 filing in 2026 Q1 and 1 filing in 2026 Q2; every client link resolves to its supporting canonical filings.

Evidence and reasoning

Reasoning: The calculation groups retained records by the approved LDA registrant ID, then counts distinct organization identities only after each client name passes that organization’s exact-name rule. It measures filing and client coverage in this collection, not total business, access, or influence.

Scope: 2026 Q1–Q2, within the reviewed Gov Influence collection for McGinley LLC.

Method: firm-client-coverage-v1

Editorial review: Gov Influence editorial review; Sep 8, 2026

Calculated from recordsHigh confidence

Comparable outside-firm income was unchanged between Q1 and Q2.

2026 Q1 totals $90,000 and 2026 Q2 totals $90,000 from additive reported fields.

Evidence and reasoning

Reasoning: The calculation adds only reported and reported-zero outside-firm income fields within each quarter. Below-threshold, unreported, and absent values remain non-additive rather than becoming zero, and firm income is never combined with organization-reported expenses or interpreted as profit, access, effectiveness, or influence.

Scope: 2026 Q1–Q2, within the reviewed Gov Influence collection for McGinley LLC.

Editorial review: Gov Influence editorial review; Sep 8, 2026

Calculated from recordsHigh confidence

McGinley LLC’s retained filings contain 3 official issue codes.

CPI (Computer Industry) appears in 2 filings across both quarters, the strongest recurring code pattern selected by filing frequency and deterministic code-order tie breaking.

Evidence and reasoning

Reasoning: Each official code is counted once per retained filing, while different codes may overlap. The result identifies breadth and recurrence in the source categories; broad LDA codes do not show a client’s position, the amount of work, importance, success, or influence.

Focused starting collection

Why this is in the initial collection

What this edition covers: This profile brings together 2 retained 2026-Q1 through 2026-Q2 filings for Meta, with issue codes, amount states, and source wording preserved.
