Nevada Secretary of State business filings

NVSOS records for 2 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.

Auditor research leads

3 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.

Methodology · All auditor findings

Tier E1 Disclosed-vs-actual money-flow gap Direct submit correction

NRS 218H disclosed expenditures: $0. Detected money flow: $59,435 (campaign-account payments received: $26,525; unambiguous personal political contributions: $32,910). Gap: $59,435. NRS 218H scope is gifts/benefits to legislators, not personal income — the gap is a transparency signal, not a violation per se.

Tier D Politician-paid — campaign accounts paid this lobbyist Direct submit correction

Cross-reference of cf_expenditures (NV SOS) against the registered-lobbyist roster: $26,525 received from 2 candidate/committee account(s) across 4 payment(s).

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.
