Findings

Worth a look Lobbying · the statement

A $115 lobbyist-paid meal on October 17, 2024 isn't on their 2024 F-1

DeLee Shoemaker reported paying $115 for them at Dinner (Spinasse; Seattle, WA) for MICROSOFT CORP. Their statement for 2024 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).
  • The lobbyist's report, linked below.
