Context Lobbying · the statement

Their income from Colorado Soccer Association, a lobbying client with positions on 2 bills

Their disclosure lists Colorado Soccer Association as a source of income. Colorado Soccer Association is a client of a professional lobbyist registered with the Secretary of State, whose reports give its positions on 2 bills since 2023. The disclosure form asks for exactly these sources: ones that pay lobbyists at the General Assembly.

What to check
  • The client's positions on the bills (each bill's page lists who lobbied it), and how they voted on them.
  • Whether the organization is the same one (a name can be shared by unrelated organizations).
