Lobbying — who lobbied this member

Who shares their backers?

Other council members tied to the same lobbying clients, PACs, or outside spenders. Ranked so a backer shared by only a few members counts for more than one shared by many; the actual shared ties are shown. A pattern in the money and lobbying, not a claim of coordination.

Who's connected to them through more than one channel?

Outside interests connected to this official through more than one independent channel — drawn straight from the records the rest of the site already shows. “Lobbied them” = a lobbying filing that named the member. “Outside spending” = an independent-expenditure committee the interest funds spent in

Discretionary funding they sponsored

Organizations this member steered City Council discretionary (member-item) money to (FY2026-2027), largest first. From the Council's Schedule C funded disclosure (FY2020 and later, where the sponsoring member is named). Organizations with a profile here link through.
