Lobbyist Insight

Ohio · Jan-Apr13 – Sep-Dec20

Gary Scherer

Identified in the Open States roster as Republican, House, district 92.

Named as receiving meals, gifts, travel or entertainment in 26 lobbying expenditure filings, from 14 different organisations or lobbyists.

Disclosed value of the items naming them: $1,900.

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.
