Lobbyist Directory

A. SUMMARY

This is a directory of lobbyists registered with the Ethics Commission. Learn more
about the lobbyist program at the SF
Ethics Commission website. Contact and Expenditure Lobbyists both show up in this
dataset. Lobbyists active only prior to 2018 were not required to file a "Registration"
type statement, and will not appear in this dataset. Those lobbyist's filings and
activities will still appear in the corresponding lobbyst datasets.

B. HOW THE DATASET IS CREATED

Lobbyists are required to register and file regular statements with the Ethics Commission.
This dataset is updated with the lobbyist filings. The live
lobbyist system can be accessed as well.

C. UPDATE PROCESS

This dataset is updated with a sync script that checks nightly for new filings. Lobbyists are required to register and file monthly statements.

D. HOW TO USE THIS DATASET

Only the most recent firm for a lobbyist is displayed.
