Who lobbied on this bill
Confirmed from the official record1 lobbying report name H.R. 1043, for 1 client.
| Client | Registrant | Amount for the whole quarter | Lobbyists named for this issue | Filed | Report |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LA PAZ COUNTY, ARIZONA | MARCUS G. FAUST, PCSecond quarter of 2026 | $30,000reported as income |
| Open the report |
A lobbying report states the registrant's income from the client (a lobbying firm) or its own lobbying expenses (an organization lobbying for itself), for the whole quarter and every issue together, as the filer printed it. A report under $5,000 states no figure. It is not the amount spent on one bill.
Reports read: 1 of 1 quarters read in full (2026-Q2). With no registered key the service allows 15 requests a minute, so this covers the latest quarter only. With a key it covers four.
Senate Office of Public Records cannot vouch for the data or analyses derived from these data after the data have been retrieved from LDA.gov.
