Lobbyist Insight

Texas · 2008 – 2026

Todd Hunter

Identified in the Open States roster as Republican, House, district 32 · roster lists service 1989 to present.

Named as receiving meals, gifts, travel or entertainment in 66 lobbying expenditure filings, from 41 different organisations or lobbyists.

$1,992 across the 16 items that carry an exact figure. The other 50 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.
