Findings

Worth a look Lobbying · the statement

A $137.38 lobbyist-paid meal on August 5, 2025 isn't on their 2025 F-1

GORDON THOMAS HONEYWELL GOV AFFAIRS reported paying $137.38 for them at NCSL Washington State Night Dinner (Bar Volpe - Boston, MA) for GORDON THOMAS HONEYWELL GOV AFFAIRS. Their statement for 2025 lists no meal or gift on or near that date from that employer or lobbyist.

What to check

Whether the statement lists it under another name.
Whether an exemption in the Ethics Act applies, such as food at an event sponsored by a civic, charitable, governmental or community organization (RCW 42.52.150(4)).
Whether the legislator attended (lobbyists list who was there as they recorded it).
