Des Moines Public Schools

An organization that hires lobbyists at the Iowa Legislature (2025–26 session). Its lobbyists filed 41 positions on 21 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
