Lobbyist Insight

Texas · 2005 – 2015

Leticia Van de Putte

Identified in the Open States roster as Democratic, Senate, district 26 · roster lists service 2009 to 2016. Filings here begin earlier, so that term list is incomplete rather than a mismatch.

Named as receiving meals, gifts, travel or entertainment in 76 lobbying expenditure filings, from 57 different organisations or lobbyists.

$1,794 across the 23 items that carry an exact figure. The other 53 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.
