For someone who is a lobbyist and who leaves their function as lobbyist and become a political staffer, it's a constitutional right to participate in partisan political activities, so individuals can do that. Should they choose to come back to being a lobbyist afterwards, then there will be rules in place. I will tell them at that time that they need to call me back because there will likely be a cooling-off period so that they can't lobby certain individuals because there clearly would be a sense of obligation. It's very much on a case-by-case basis.
