If the individual is a registered lobbyist, they do need to be vigilant about whom they go to help and who they're going to lobby afterwards. They should be calling my office.
If I can give you some stats, there have been two elections since 2017, since I've been in my position. There have only been 40 calls to my office about the application of the current rule on political activity. Only 29 of them have been from people who are thinking of playing an important role and wondering about the consequences.
Considering that there are 8,000 lobbyists and that over 300 of you are getting help from many, the fact that I'm only getting 29 calls about playing an important role.... I don't know if it's a prevalent issue or if people are just keeping it under the radar. I just don't know.
I'm hoping these rules will send a signal that they need to be careful and need to call us to get some help.
