Spending: about $160,000 (But it's complicated. Here's why.)

It can be tricky to figure out how much an organization spent on a particular lobbying engagement.

Plus, some organizations include spending that doesn’t belong in the report—for instance, money spent lobbying state governments or other legal work.
