Political contributions
Twice a year every registered lobbyist, and every organisation that lobbies, files an LD-203 report listing the political contributions it made: to candidates, party committees and PACs, and payments honouring members of Congress.
Counting the current version of each report once: an amended LD-203 restates the whole report, so the earlier version is set aside.

Members of Congress credited most
The register does not link a contribution to a member. LegiList credits one only when the honoree's name, the date and any Senate or House title fit a single member; less certain contributions are left uncredited.
