Why It Matters

Kellogg, Brown, and Roots (KBR) Inc. filed a lobbying termination on June 30, 2026, ending its active lobbying operations.

The move marks a notable shift in KBR's government affairs strategy. Charles Shin served as Director of Government Relations at KBR Inc., while Andy Jazwick held the position of Vice President of Government Relations, making them the key figures managing the company's legislative priorities.

KBR's lobbying efforts spanned multiple congressional priority areas. The company lobbied on Budget and Appropriations issues, Defense matters, and Science and Technology topics throughout 2026. This broad portfolio of legislative interests positioned KBR as a player on several major congressional agendas simultaneously.

By The Numbers

The company, which had maintained a significant presence on Capitol Hill focused on defense and appropriations matters, reported spending $480,000 on lobbying activities in the second quarter of 2026 before the termination took effect.

Broader Context

The congressional landscape for defense and appropriations matters has remained active throughout 2026. Multiple versions of appropriations bills have moved through both chambers of Congress, with both defense and civilian agency funding packages receiving sustained attention from lawmakers.

The company's legislative focus centered heavily on appropriations bills and defense authorization measures. KBR Inc. lobbied on HR-4016 and S.2572, both fiscal year 2026 Defense Appropriations bills, as well as HR-5342 and S.2354, which addressed Commerce, Justice, Science (CJS) fiscal year 2026 Appropriations. The company also tracked HR-6938, a three-bill appropriations package including CJS funding, and HR-7148, a five-bill appropriations package that included Defense spending.

Looking ahead to fiscal year 2027, KBR's lobbying activities had extended to multiple pieces of legislation. The company monitored the fiscal year 2027 President's Budget Request and maintained focus on fiscal year 2027 Defense and CJS Appropriations bills, specifically HR 8646 and HR 8845. Additionally, KBR lobbied on the fiscal year 2027 National Defense Authorization Act, tracking both HR 8800 and S. 4784.

The Bottom Line

The KBR termination filing represents the end of the company's active lobbying registration with Congress. With the termination effective June 30, 2026, KBR's government relations operations under its Lobbying Disclosure Act filing have concluded.

This represents a significant change from the company's prior engagement level on Capitol Hill, where it had maintained active involvement across multiple major legislative initiatives.
