Ballard Partners Tops Q3 K Street Revenue at $35 Million as Realtors Spend $27.4 Million

1 articles · Updated · POLITICO · Oct 21

$35 million put Ballard Partners atop Q3 2026 K Street lobbying revenue, up from $33 million in Q2 and $25.1 million a year earlier.
BGR Group and Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck followed at about $22.6 million each, while Miller Strategies and Akin Gump rounded out the top five near $18.9 million.
Trade fights, defense, energy, critical minerals and health care drove the quarter, with tariff-exemption work helping fuel contracts such as Morton Salt's $540,000 mandate tied to Canadian imports.
$27.4 million from the National Association of Realtors made it the quarter's biggest lobbying spender, ahead of the U.S. Chamber's $16.5 million, as housing legislation and midterm activity intensified.
Lobbyists expect Q4 demand to stay strong around appropriations, defense, energy and possible congressional investigations if Democrats regain power.
