Top spenders & firms Spend by issue

Under section 203 of the Honest Leadership and Open Government Act, registered lobbyists disclose the political contributions they make. We resolve the honoree to a member of Congress where the committee name allows (about two thirds of contributions); the rest name PACs or committees we don't attribute to one member. A disclosed, reported contribution is legal activity, not an allegation of wrongdoing.
