Commodities (big ticket) filing shape

Only 45 organizations filed on Commodities (big ticket) (CDT) in 2023-2024, a narrow filer set where a handful of names dominate the disclosure stream.

EDISON ELECTRIC INSTITUTE leads this issue's filer table with $25.1M in all-issue lobbying; filings remain spread across 10 named organizations rather than collapsing into one registrant.

With fewer filers on Commodities (big ticket), each quarterly disclosure carries more weight, and a small shift in registrant count can change the visible lobbying picture quickly.
