Quarterly lobbying activity hits eight-year high

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Oct. 28, 2019

Last quarter saw the highest federal lobbying activity of any third quarter since 2011.

Lobbyists disclosed 20,444 federal contracts from July through September. While that represents only a modest increase - less than two percent - over last year's third-quarter filing period, the number of Q3 contracts has climbed each year since 2016, which saw 18,318 filings. Last quarter's activity is the highest since 2011, when lobbyists filed 21,004 contracts.

Lobbying on trade and tariff issues account for some of the largest increases, with an increase of 33 percent since last year. Last quarter marked the all-time highest number of contracts on those issues, which have soared in the time since President Trump announced that the U.S. would impose tariffs on China, Canada, Mexico and the European Union.
