Context Behested payments

Of $1,247,114 paid at their request since 2024: 21 sources ($583,614) are registered lobbyist employers

Payments made at their request (Form 803) from sources that also appear in Cal-Access: Silicon Valley Community Foundation ($125,000 to Women in California Leadership; lobbyist employer); Olson Remcho, LLP ($71,114 to Amicus Brief in State Public Defender v.
