Gladden Pappin Files a Second FARA Short Form Under Ballard Partners' Registration, Listing the Embassy of Japan

Gladden Pappin signed a second FARA short-form registration statement on 11/01/2026 under registration 7070, which FARA records list as Ballard Partners. It names the Embassy of Japan as the foreign principal: the registrant “will provide government relations services for the Embassy of Japan” and support “regarding its communications with U.S. government” officials. His position is given as Lobbyist.

His earlier short form under the same registration, signed 10/16/2026, names the Ministry of Communication and Medias of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The filings are scanned forms read by text recognition; the registrant’s name on them is garbled in that reading, so the registration’s name is taken from Ballard Partners’ own amendment.
