Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC)

1,405 lobbying filings named this agency, 2025 to 2026. Those filers reported $593,489,204 of lobbying spend in total, across all the work each filing covers.

An LD-2 reports one money figure for the whole filing, covering every part of government it named. The dollar amounts here are the spend of filings that named Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC), not money spent lobbying it. Money counts the latest version of each filing only; filing counts include ones a later amendment restated.
