Calculated from selected records

Reproducible observations

These concise statements come before the filing list so the scope and main record patterns are visible without opening every disclosure.

Site calculation

What the selected records show

  1. The current reviewed collection contains 32 canonical filings across 2 reporting quarters.
  2. 2026 Q1 contains 15 retained filings; 2026 Q2 contains 17 retained filings.
  3. Those filings preserve 1 distinct source-record client name and 17 distinct registrant names.
  4. The selected filings contain 21 official LDA issue codes; filing counts by code may overlap because one filing can report multiple codes.
  5. The outside-income reporting basis identifies 16 distinct outside registrant organizations in this period.

These observations are reproducible counts, not rankings or claims about importance, motive, access, effectiveness, or policy outcomes.

Lobbying disclosure

Lobbying disclosure

A lobbying disclosure reports activity under federal disclosure law. It does not show that the activity achieved a policy result.

Quarterly amounts, kept separate

Self-reported expenses and income reported by outside registrants have different reporting bases. They are displayed in separate tables and never added into one total.

Search retained source descriptions case-insensitively for the exact phrase 'artificial intelligence' or the standalone abbreviation 'AI', and for 'privacy', 'personal data', or 'data protection'. Separately count filings carrying CPI, SCI, or TEC codes.

This literal-language check distinguishes explicit source wording from broad LDA categories. It does not infer that other technology-coded descriptions concern AI or privacy, and it does not classify a position on any issue.

Representative source language

Use canonical filings only; group exact source descriptions by reviewed issue code, sort codes and filings deterministically, select one description per code before selecting a second from any code, and preserve the source text exactly.
