Lobbying reports (LD-2) whose issue descriptions explicitly cite a bill this member sponsored, cosponsored, or cast a recorded vote on. This documents an overlap in subject only. LD-2 reports generally do not name the members contacted, and a citation does not show contact with this member, influence, or the client's position on the bill. No matching record means none was found within coverage, not that no lobbying occurred.
