Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Influence Score?

The Influence Score is LobbyMap's proprietary metric that measures an organization's lobbying reach on a 0-100 scale. It factors in total lobbying spend (40%), the breadth of policy issues lobbied on (30%), and the number of lobbyists with former government positions (30%), also known as revolving door connections.

Where does this data come from?

All data comes from lobbying disclosure filings required under the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995. Organizations that employ lobbyists to contact federal officials must file quarterly reports with the Secretary of the Senate. These filings are public record.

What is the "revolving door"?

The revolving door refers to the movement of individuals between government positions and private sector lobbying roles. Lobbyists who previously held government positions must disclose this in their LDA filings. Former officials often have established relationships and institutional knowledge that may increase lobbying effectiveness.

Does lobbying indicate corruption?

No. Lobbying is a legal and constitutionally protected activity. The First Amendment guarantees the right to petition the government. LobbyMap reports what organizations have disclosed in their federal filings without implying wrongdoing. Higher spending and influence scores reflect greater lobbying activity, not impropriety.
