Nevada Secretary of State business filings

NVSOS records for 13 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.

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, Reno, 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.

Surname cluster

Other registered lobbyists with the surname "Ernaut"

Same-firm or same-employer surname match. A shared surname does not by itself imply a family relationship — common names will produce coincidental matches. We surface this as a research lead, not as a claim.
