In March 2018, the Associated Press reported that as a registered lobbyist, Renacci had failed to report $50,000 in political contributions he had been given from 2008 to 2010.

Although Renacci's lawyer provided paperwork to journalists showing he had been listed as "inactive" as a lobbyist in 2009, the Associated Press found Renacci's lobbyist registration was deactivated in May 2011, the year when the paperwork was filed, and four months after he entered Congress.{{cite web|title=Rep. didn't report $50K in donations as registered lobbyist|date=March 28, 2018 |url=https://apnews.com/article/1b09f6ccd51e4da2bceb81afc3eb60e3 |publisher=AP News|accessdate=July 12, 2021}}

Renacci has loaned his campaign $4 million of his own money, which represent[ed] the majority of his campaign fundraising."
