entities with lobbying history and no current registration — ranked by what they used to spend
show all 65 ↓
Field note — this list cannot be looked up anywhere, because it's defined by absence: enumerate every public entity in the registry's history, subtract the current registrants. "Dormant spend" is the entity's largest disclosed relationship total — proof a lobbying budget existed. A row here is a research lead, not a verified "no representation" claim: they may have in-house staff or an unregistered arrangement. The phone confirms.
