Black Hills Energy

An organization that hires lobbyists at the Iowa Legislature (2025–26 session). Its lobbyists filed 16 positions on 11 bills, one filing per lobbyist per bill, and again on each refiling, so the two counts differ. Each bill is counted once, under the most recent position filed on it, even when the bill was renumbered mid-session
