Charter spent $69,995,000 from 2010 – 2020 on federal lobbying. Charter also lobbies extensively at the state level where disclosure is uneven or absent, with at least 267 lobbyists in 29 states in 2020 (followthemoney.org). Charter fails to disclose its memberships in, or payments to, trade associations and social welfare organizations, or the amounts used for lobbying, including grassroots. Companies can give unlimited amounts to third party groups that spend millions on lobbying and often undisclosed grassroots activity, and these groups may be spending at least double what’s publicly reported.1 Charter serves on the board of NCTA - The Internet & Television Association, which spent $175,710,000 on lobbying from 2010 – 2020, and is a member of Broadband for America, a social welfare organization which spent $4.2 million to submit 8.5 million fake comments using real people’s names to the FCC opposing net neutrality.2 And Charter does not disclose its contributions to groups which write and endorse model legislation, like the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). We believe Charter’s lack of disclosure presents reputational risks when its lobbying contradictscompany public positions. For example, Charter states that it is committed to an open internet, yet NCTA and Broadband for America lobbied against net neutrality. As Charter lobbied on expanding internet access in infrastructure,3 it has attracted scrutiny for avoiding federal taxes while spending $64 million on lobbying and campaign contributions.4 And while Charter is committed to diversity and inclusion, groups have asked Charter to cut ties with ALEC because of its voter restriction efforts.
