Private: Strengthening the Lobbying Disclosure Act
To better reflect what lobbying looks like in 2020, Congress must update the law to make the influence industry more transparent.
Lobbying is a necessary and constitutionally protected activity — so long as it’s transparent. Too often, our existing laws are flouted via the ‘shadow lobbying’ loophole that allows former government officials to lobby without having to register their activity. We work to modernize the outdated Lobbying Disclosure Act (LDA), creating greater transparency around the billions special interests spend each year.
