Detailed issue coverage and method

Each plain-language issue group is backed by a documented list of official lobbying-disclosure issue codes. The profile preserves the official code and source wording; the group name does not replace what a filer reported.

One filing may report several included codes and therefore appear in more than one issue total. The rows below overlap and must not be added into a collection-wide filing count.

Issue groups: 4
Organizations represented: 6
Included official codes: 11

Matches in reviewed lobbying filings, 2026 Q1 through 2026 Q2
Normalized issue	Included official codes	Organizations	Filings
Artificial Intelligence, Technology and Data Privacy	CPI, SCI, TEC	4	62
Defense and Aerospace Policy	DEF, AER, AVI	3	34
Healthcare, Prescription Drugs and Medicare	HCR, PHA, MMM	4	19
Taxes and Government Spending	TAX, BUD	6	42

A filing counts once for each normalized issue it matches, so issue filing counts overlap and should not be added into a collection total.
