Money facing this bill

A giver's face is the list of subjects its organization lobbies Congress on, read from its own lobbying reports and spread by how often each subject comes up; a gift from someone who works there is spread the same way.

from individual donors whose organizations lobby on Environmental Protection, the bill's policy area, reached the 15 members who sponsor or cosponsor it, in the 2026 cycle, more than 89% of Environmental Protection bills. From PACs whose sponsors lobby on it: $431k, counted separately.

This is money tied to the bill's subject, not money given for or against the bill. It shows what an organization lobbies on, not what position it takes, and no gift is tied to a bill.

The members it reached, and who gave it

The organizations are each member's three largest on this subject. A group of organizations is shown by name only after a person has reviewed it.
