I'm suggesting that it's a modest fix to require lobbyists to register their political activities in support of an elected official. I realize that there is an array of activities—putting a sign on your lawn, attending a fundraising, sponsoring a fundraising dinner. I also know that maybe the timelines of reporting and lobbying aren't going to solve the problem, but I'm suggesting that it's in the spirit of transparency to have such a requirement.
