Spending: about $950,306 (But it's complicated. Here's why.)
It can be tricky to figure out how much an organization spent on a particular lobbying engagement. The law only requires lobbyists to report the amount they were paid for federal lobbying each quarter rounded to the nearest $10,000—and if it's less than $3,000 in a given quarter (or less than $13,000 for organizations with in-house lobbyists), they don't have to disclose it at all. Plus, some organizations include spending that doesn’t belong in the report—for instance, money spent lobbying state governments or other legal work.
Agencies lobbied since 2016: U.S. Senate, House of Representatives, Centers For Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Veterans Affairs - Dept of (VA), Centers For Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), Health & Human Services - Dept of (HHS), Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA), White House Office, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Homeland Security - Dept of (DHS), Justice - Dept of (DOJ), Food & Drug Administration (FDA)
Lobbyists
Lobbyists named here were listed on a filing related to this lobbying engagement. They may not be working on it now. Occasionally, a single lobbyist whose name is spelled two different ways on filings may be represented twice here.
Disclosures Filed
Once a lobbying engagement begins, the lobbyist or firm is required to file updates four times a year. Those updates sometimes change which lobbyists are involved or add new issues being discussed. When lobbyists stop working for a client, the firm is also supposed to file a report disclosing the end of the relationship.
