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).
  • The lobbyist's report, linked below.
