This number reflects what the lobbyist has personally given to candidates, parties, and political committees in Nevada — not what their clients have given. The two channels frequently overlap: a paid advocate who also writes a personal check to the legislator they're lobbying is using both kinds of access at once.

NVSOS records for 19 of this lobbyist's clients
Per-client business-entity records sourced from the Nevada Secretary of State's nvsos_corporations registry, joined to this lobbyist's client roster by tokenwise-normalised name match. Includes corporation status, registered agent, formation date, and the current officer/director list as filed with the state.
Match is name-based — a client may correspond to multiple business filings (parent + subsidiary, foreign + domestic) or none at all if it is a federal entity, a political committee filed elsewhere, or a non-NV organisation. Entries with status Active are currently in good standing; Permanently Revoked, Dissolved, or Merged indicates the entity is no longer operational under that NV ID. Officer rosters are public records as of the most recent filing.

4 detector flag(s) on file for this lobbyist
The Nevada Political Establishment auditor cross-references this lobbyist against every Tier A/B/C/D/E1 detector. Each flag below is a research lead, not a published claim — verify against authoritative records before treating as evidence of wrongdoing. Most flags reflect structural patterns the public has a right to see, not necessarily violations.
7 regulator-side client(s): City of Fallon, Nevada Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors, Nevada State Board of Optometry, Nevada State Board of Osteopathic Medicine, Nevada State Society of Anesthesiologists. 4 industry-side client(s): Builders Association of Northern Nevada, Nevada Home Builders Association, Nevada Mineral Exploration Coalition, Southern Nevada Home Builders Association. Same lobbyist arguing on both sides of a regulatory question is the structural conflict signal. Citation: Stigler 1971, Olson 1965, Tullock 1967.
NRS 218H disclosed expenditures: $0. Detected money flow: $6,700 (campaign-account payments received: $250; unambiguous personal political contributions: $6,450). Gap: $6,700. NRS 218H scope is gifts/benefits to legislators, not personal income — the gap is a transparency signal, not a violation per se.
Cross-reference of cf_expenditures (NV SOS) against the registered-lobbyist roster: $250 received from 1 candidate/committee account(s) across 1 payment(s).
| Payer | Amount | # |

| Brandi Jensen | $250 | 1 |
