Findings

Worth a look Lobbying

Pennsylvania Family Council reported $699 in transportation, lodging or hospitality to them in 2025; the statement doesn't list it

Pennsylvania Family Council's lobbying expense reports name this official as receiving payment ($699, 2025-04-18). Principals name an official once their gifts reach $250 in a year, or hospitality passes $650 (65 Pa.C.S. § 13A05(b)(3)), the same thresholds at which the official lists them (§ 1105(b)(6)–(7)). The statement for 2025 lists no gift or hospitality from them.

What to check
  • Whether the statement lists it under another name (a parent company, the lobbying firm, the charity it went to)
  • Whether the report's recipient is this person (name and position as written)
  • Whether an amended statement adds it
