Ambiguity flag: the Nevada SOS dataset contains more than one contributor with this first/last name. The numbers and recipient list above sum across all matching name records and may include contributions from another individual sharing the same name. Cities on file for this name: Las Vegas, NV, Las vegas, NV. Treat as a research lead, not a definitive total.

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.
