No in-house lobbyists. The figure is what 2 outside firms reported being paid by the membership group (LD-2, rounded to $10K). 7 reports listed less than $5,000 and count as $0 here. This PAC gives money raised from the membership group’s members; the membership group itself can’t give to campaigns from its treasury.
