The Wall Street Journal doesn’t tell us. They are only focused on industry:
Wells Fargo & Co. shelled out more on lobbying than any other financial firm, surpassing J.P. Morgan Chase, which had the top spot in 2010. Wells Fargo’s lobbying expenditures nearly doubled to $1.9 million during the first quarter from $1 million in the same period a year ago. A Wells Fargo spokeswoman declined to comment.

Still, many institutions remain focused on Congress. Disclosures for lobbyists working for the Community Financial Services Association, which represents the payday-lending industry, show the it has only lobbied Congress. A spokeswoman for the group declined to comment.
According to disclosures, the trade group spent $590,000 during the first quarter, primarily on Dodd-Frank and the fledgling Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The law set up the CFPB and gave it broad powers to regulate large payday lenders. Republicans have introduced several bills to weaken the bureau’s powers.
