Source: Lobbying Disclosure Act filings (lda.gov). A “covered position” is the former federal job a lobbyist must disclose by law; the wording is the filer's own. Moving between government and lobbying is legal and common — this board exists because the disclosures are public but rarely readable. Catalog grows weekly as filings are processed.
