PROTECT Coalition is an explicit coalition/campaign advocating to preserve the Section 199A Qualified Business Income deduction (tax-policy focused) and is presented as uniting businesses across sectors (not a single industry). Brownstein’s tax policy group formed/promoted the coalition and is the registered lobbying registrant, indicating an external trade-coalition client rather than an in-house corporate or professional-services firm client. Therefore the proposed 'mixed-portfolio' industry (advocacy for broad, cross-sector tax interests) with organization_mode 'trade_association' is defensible.
