Just how much lobbying is Google doing


You see that Google donated $26,000 to Democrat Jerry Brown in his last campaign for governor of California, and that the company has already given $10,000 to Republican Marco Rubio's 2016 U.S. Senate campaign (yes, that was before Rubio announced his run for president).

Google is now a big spender in Washington -- and in state capitals across America. Since President Obama took office, Google has spent over $60 million on lobbying in Washington alone.

But here's what you don't find even with the best Google searching: Just how much is the Internet giant giving to various trade organizations and "third party" groups?
