The register gives a lobbyist a separate record at each firm. This person is very likely also listed as
William Rys (Citigroup Washington, Inc.),
with the same name and the same covered position.
The register itself does not confirm these are one person.
Lobby filings counts every filing that names this lobbyist, amendments included. Contributions come
from the twice-yearly LD-203 reports, counting the current version of each report once.
