Ruth Smith

The register gives a lobbyist a separate record at each firm. This person is very likely also listed as Ruth Smith (Ruth Smith), Ruth Smith (Alstom Transportation 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.

From reports filed under the Lobbying Disclosure Act: LD-2 reports name the lobbyists who worked on each issue, and LD-203 reports list their political contributions twice a year.
