JAMES FREE is a registered lobbyist named on 44 federal lobbying filings, 2023 to 2024, reporting $3.1M across them.
An LDA filing reports one registrant’s income from one client for everything they worked that quarter, so a total here is the sum of whole filings and never a price for one issue or one bill.
