Why It Matters
American Defense International terminated its lobbying engagement for Bollinger Shipyards, effective June 30. The shipbuilding company paid $40,000 during the second quarter of 2026 for lobbying services.
Broader Context
Lobbying efforts for Bollinger Shipyards during the second quarter of 2026 focused on three significant areas of defense and maritime policy, namely the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act provisions related to Coast Guard Fast Response Cutters; the Department of Defense Appropriations Act provisions related to Medium Unmanned Surface Vessels (MUSV); and National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) provisions related to Polar Security Cutter (PSC).
Matt Weinstein, the vice president of government affairs at American Defense International Inc., brought prior member experience with Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL-3) and former Rep. Jo Bonner (R-AL-1) to his work on behalf of Bollinger Shipyards. Weinstein's prior experience with these members positioned him to engage on issues relevant to shipyard federal contracts and maritime industry regulation.
