Now Pfizer’s Q1 ‘26 Spend: Pretty Much Steady State, Compared To Q1 ‘25

This is number three of a four part series — maybe five — if I decide to add in either Tesla (for Elon, here) — or Amazon Health. For now, this is what the largest spend of the majors went to in Q1 2026.

You’ll notice that — unlike the others, Pfizer goes into far less detail about exactly what they are jaw-boining about. It is my opinion (expressed here, on and off for about 15 years) that, given how relatively high the company’s spend on lobbying is every year — that this below, barely meets the command of the statute, to describe, in reaonable detail, “a list of the specific issues upon which a lobbyist employed by the registrant engaged in lobbying activities, including, to the maximum extent practicable, a list of bill numbers and references to specific executive branch actions…” at 2 USC § 1604 Section (b)(2)(A):
