Lobbyist Insight

Ohio · 2026

Who gained and lost clients in Ohio

Comparing the 2026 filings against 2025. A client on the books then and absent now has gone — states publish who is registered, never who left.

The first two tables cover filers registered in both periods, so a number there is business won or lost. Those who arrived or left altogether are counted separately below, because a newcomer with forty clients has not taken them from anyone.

A large loss is sometimes a merger or a renamed firm rather than lost business — worth checking the firm's own page before drawing a conclusion.

Newly registered

Not registered in 2025 at all, and arriving with this many clients.
