Summary
OpenSecrets, the nonpartisan research group tracking money in U.S. politics, has released a lobbying profile for Ares Management, the alternative asset manager, covering 2024. The profile is built from federal lobbying disclosures filed with the Senate Office of Public Records, with figures calculated by OpenSecrets rather than reported directly by the firm.
According to the page's methodology note, data for the most recent year was downloaded on July 23, 2026, and includes spending only from January 1 through June 30 of that year. Prior years, including 2024, include spending from January through December. Readers comparing Ares's lobbying activity across years should account for this partial-year treatment of the most recent period.
The primary source excerpt does not itemize lobbying expenditures, specific policy issues, or the individual lobbyists engaged on the firm's behalf. Institutional readers seeking those details should consult the full OpenSecrets profile and the underlying Senate filings directly.
OpenSecrets states that the material may be distributed or cited with attribution, and that commercial reuse, such as in textbooks, requires permission from the organization.
