Lobbying: 3 filings cite this bill

Filings whose specific-issues text cites the bill, as the filers typed it ("H.R. 6495"). The LDA does not disclose positions on a bill (support or oppose), so none appear here; a filing is attributed to a Congress by its filing year. Counts, never dollars. ‡ lobbying estimates

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.

this row as datathe stored row

from individual donors whose organizations lobby on Taxation, the bill's policy area, reached the 2 members who sponsor or cosponsor it, in the 2026 cycle, more than 38% of Taxation bills. From PACs whose sponsors lobby on it: $272k, 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.

Votes: 0 roll calls tied to this bill by the chambers' own documents

No roll call in the loaded votes ties to this bill. A vote whose document reference did not parse to a bill keeps its reference as filed and cannot appear here. ‡ votes, not motives

Coverage: bills are loaded for Congresses 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119. We have not collected a Congress missing from that list, so its bills do not show here even though they exist. Lobbying citations cover the LDA years we collected; votes cover the loaded roll-call files. ‡ correlation, not purchase ‡ lobbying estimates ‡ votes, not motives
