$179.82Itemized gifts and expenditures reported to the Idaho Secretary of State's Sunshine Portal, naming James as recipient. These are disclosed gifts, meals, and event or travel expenditures from registered lobbyists, not a count of lobbying-contact filings. A gift being disclosed here is not an accusation; state law requires lobbyists to report it.
Nothing on this page shows why any vote was cast. Recorded votes and gift/expenditure disclosures are separate official records, self-reported by different parties, and neither explains the other.
