District of Columbia filing shape
Only 21 organizations filed on District of Columbia (DOC) in 2023-2024, a narrow filer set where a handful of names dominate the disclosure stream.
FEDEX CORPORATION leads the filer list ($27.1M in all-issue lobbying), and the top ten registrants account for about 57% of issue-specific filings on this code.
