How to read this. Giving to campaigns, spending on elections, lobbying and selling to the government are legal and publicly reported. These pages show what the official records say. They do not suggest anyone did anything wrong.
Source. Indiana Lobby Registration Commission, employer lobbyist totals (2025 file, 2026 file). Totals are each employer’s reported net expenditures: compensation paid to lobbyists, reimbursements, receptions, gifts, fees and other expenses. Lobbying firms that are paid by these employers file separate “compensated lobbyist” reports; we leave those out to avoid counting the same money twice. Reporting periods are set by the commission’s filing calendar. Look up any lobbyist’s filings in the ILRC lobbyist search.

Federal lobbying

Lobbying of Congress is reported under the federal Lobbying Disclosure Act. Search any Indiana company or group at LDA.gov. We do not total it here yet: many large Indiana employers file from Washington addresses, so a state-based total would leave them out.
