Data covers the 2023-2024 reporting period.

What is "combined activity" and how is it calculated?

Combined activity (internally total_influence) is a convenience sum of three different official populations: FEC campaign contributions (2024 election cycle), Senate LDA lobbying expenditures (2023 and 2024 filing years, summed), and USAspending federal contract obligations (fiscal year 2024). It is a cross-dataset discovery index only, not causation, effectiveness, or political influence. Channel dollars are shown side by side; see /methodology#cross-stage-populations.
