Corporate PAC and Lobbying Footprint: free sample (Tensorust LLC)
3,273 organizations with a federal PAC: PAC money, 2026 lobbying spend and federal awards side by side, with awards per influence dollar.
Headline: A company's political footprint is split across three federal databases (FEC, the Senate lobbying register and USAspending) that never get added up.
This repository is a free teaser, not the dataset. It holds 25 example rows and a summary table with no names in it. The full file has 3,273 rows and is sold by Tensorust LLC: https://tensorust.com/datasets/pac-corporate-footprint/.

Email mattbusel@tensorust.com with the tier and a billing contact, and we will send a proper invoice (ACH or card). The file is delivered once the invoice is paid. Details and the live sample: https://tensorust.com/datasets/pac-corporate-footprint/. All datasets: https://tensorust.com/datasets/
Method and limits
Group FEC committees by normalized connected organization. Sum LDA amounts per normalized client (in-house filers use expenses, outside firms income). Sum USAspending obligations per normalized recipient name. Influence spend is 2026 PAC disbursements plus 2026 lobbying; awards_per_influence_dollar is federal awards divided by that.
Not individual donors (no contributor names) and not congressional financial disclosure data. 2026 lobbying coverage is partial (Q3 filings of $50K+ and the largest filings), so totals understate small lobbying. Name matching across FEC, LDA and USAspending is heuristic.
