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 4 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.
