Lobbyist Insight

Ohio · Jan-Apr13 – Sep-Dec17

Jim Butler

Identified in the Open States roster as Republican, House, district 41.

Named as receiving meals, gifts, travel or entertainment in 20 lobbying expenditure filings, from 10 different organisations or lobbyists.

Disclosed value of the items naming them: $1,205.

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.
