Salesforce Files $1M Lobbying Disclosure

Salesforce.com Inc. reported $1,010,000 in first-quarter lobbying expenditures in an amended federal lobbying disclosure filed yesterday, but disclosed no specific issues its lobbyists worked on during the period.

The blank issues field is notable given the active policy environment around Salesforce's core business areas. The company has consistently lobbied on artificial intelligence regulation, data privacy, high-skilled immigration, and R&D tax treatment. All of those issues are in motion in Washington right now. The Trump administration released a sweeping National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence on March 20, and Congress is weighing legislative action on AI governance. Federal data privacy legislation remains absent, even as more than 20 states have enacted their own privacy laws. The absence of disclosed issues in this lobbying activity report makes it harder to track exactly where Salesforce's Washington attention is focused this quarter.
