Why it matters
Financial services lobbying is heating up as TPT Research LLC made its federal lobbying debut by hiring Miller Strategies LLC, bringing a team led by James B. Min with deep Republican access to key decision-makers. The hiring team includes seasoned lobbyists such as Jeffrey Miller and James B. Min, who began lobbying in April 2025 after a long career in House GOP leadership.
By the numbers
TPT Research filed its first-ever lobbying registration on October 10, 2025. Miller Strategies LLC reported over $115 million in lobbying revenue between 2017 and 2025.
Broader context
The 119th Congress is actively reassessing financial regulations, including the Dodd-Frank Act, and is advancing new frameworks for digital assets and artificial intelligence in markets. Republicans are pushing deregulation focused on capital formation and reduced burdens for financial firms. Relevant recent activity includes hearings such as “Fifteen Years of Dodd-Frank” and proposals like the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act. For primary source material see the SEC and Congress.
The agenda
TPT Research’s registration lists “General issues related to financial services,” a broad scope that suggests potential engagement on digital asset regulation, securities law modernization, and banking oversight.
Competitive landscape
- Large firms like Citadel Enterprise Americas LLC and SMBC Americas Holdings Inc. are active on SEC proposals.
- Industry groups such as the American Bankers Association and SIFMA continue to represent broad sector interests.
Between the lines
Key lawmakers are advancing legislation and holding hearings on financial reform. Republicans including Rep. Byron Donalds and Sen. Pete Ricketts have called for changes ranging from SEC oversight reforms to repeal of unused Dodd-Frank authorities; Senate Banking Chair Tim Scott has highlighted priorities such as increased capital access and digital asset frameworks.
The bottom line
TPT Research’s lobbying debut positions the company to influence financial regulation during a period of significant policy change. Min’s Republican connections provide immediate access to decision-makers driving the deregulation agenda.
