Lobbyists Profit From Power Shift In Congress
This article seems fitting because we talked about lobbyists in our last lecture. This story is interesting because the number of registered lobbyists has grown from 2,232 from 1,222 earlier in the year. According to the article, Republican lobbyists are keeping their jobs and Democratic lobbyists are being hired. The reason for the increase to try to figure out the agenda of the Democratic leadership in Congress on issues. The question, then remains why keep the Republican lobbyists then? The answer is simple-because Republicans that have remained in Congress can be important to blocking certain legislation from passing.
