Lobbyist Insight

Texas · 2010 – 2026

Brad Gilbert

Named as receiving meals, gifts, travel or entertainment in 87 lobbying expenditure filings, from 15 different organisations or lobbyists.

$2,580 across the 11 items that carry an exact figure. The other 76 are filed as a bracket rather than an amount, so the real total is higher and cannot be calculated from what the state publishes.

What this is and is not. These are items that lobbyists and their employers reported spending, naming this person as a recipient. The filings themselves never say whether a named person is a legislator, a member of staff, a family member or a guest at the same event — Texas codes every one of them "INDIVIDUAL" — so any role shown above comes from matching the name against a published roster, and its absence means only that no match was found. Nothing here is a payment to them.
