No in-house lobbyists. The figure is what 1 outside firm reported being paid by the trade association (LD-2, rounded to $10K). 7 reports listed less than $5,000 and count as $0 here. This PAC gives money raised from the trade association’s employees or members; the trade association itself can’t give to campaigns from its treasury.
