Pearson people & state presence

Registered representation, advertised responsibilities, and the questions to validate inside Pearson.

A documented baseline, with clear limits.

Initial review of ten Priority 1 states; counts cover matched Pearson-named clients, not an exhaustive audit of all affiliates or employees. Lobbyist registration does not establish an employee relationship, CTE assignment, access to a legislator, or revenue opportunity.

Priority 1 states first

Four states have verified individual counts within matched client records. Indiana has a dated firm listing. Two searches found no Pearson-named match, and three remain unresolved. These evidence colors are independent of the map’s opportunity tiers.

Unresolved

Ohio

—Individual count unverified

Client searched / listed: Not yet established

The official Lobbying Activity Center returned an access error during automated retrieval. No current count was established.

Still to verify

Retry the interactive public registry or request the public registration export from the responsible agency.

Ohio — Lobbying Activity Center ↗Automated retrieval returned access error; current records unresolved

How to use these findings

Use registrations to identify a public representation footprint and questions for Government Affairs. A larger count does not automatically justify more sales investment. State funding, product eligibility, buyer authority, and procurement timing still determine the opportunity.
