Each finding is reproducible from public records and represents a research lead, not a published claim. See methodology and auditor portfolio for what we look for.
Client contributed $256,500 to NV PACs/candidates but did not testify on any bill in the 83rd Session. Lobbying happens through channels other than public testimony — legislator meetings, lobbyist representation. NRS 218H + 294A.
Also lobbies the U.S. Congress
This client also appears in the U.S. Senate's Lobbying Disclosure Act (LDA) database — the public registry of lobbying activity directed at federal agencies and Congress, filed under the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995. Federal lobbying is a separate jurisdiction from Nevada state lobbying, but both flows from the same entity tell a fuller picture of how its political resources are deployed. 19 federal registrants on file, 19 federal filings matched.
