What a yes vote endorsed

Dalles Watershed Development Act

What this does

This bill directs the Secretary of Agriculture, acting through the Forest Service, to transfer about 150 acres of National Forest System land in the Mount Hood National Forest to the City of The Dalles, Oregon. The transfer happens only if the City files a written request within one year of enactment. The land is conveyed for no payment, by quitclaim deed, and subject to valid existing rights, and the City must pay all costs including the survey. The City must use the land for public purposes such as municipal water supply and related infrastructure, and title reverts to the United States if the land is used in any other way.

Reported lobbying

At least

3

organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing.

A floor, not a total. Those organizations were counted by the client name on 7 quarterly reports filed by 3 registered lobbying firms in 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1 and 2026 Q2. The disclosure form takes a free text description of the issue, so an organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.

The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. They carry no per-bill dollar figure and no position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.

The organizations named

  • THE CONFEDERATED TRIBES OF THE WARM SPRINGS RESERVATION OF OREGON
  • CONFEDERATED TRIBES OF THE WARM SPRINGS RESERVATION OF OREGON
  • COLUMBIA RIVERKEEPER

Listed as filed. They are every client name on the filings counted here.

From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1 and 2026 Q2. The pull came up 2 short in 2025 Q4 and 7 short in 2026 Q2 against the register's own count, so those quarters are the filings posted rather than every one filed. 2026 Q3 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
