Our lobbyist dataset drills-down on more than 78,000 of the lobbyists throughout history (1999-present), offering detailed information on their lobbying firm work histories and previous government positions. Our lobbying data is collected and aggregated from the U.S. Senate Office of Public Records from 1999-present and is updated on a regular basis. We utilize advanced data science techniques to ensure accurate data points are collected and ingested, match similar entities across time, and tickerize publicly traded companies that lobby.
