He in no way said he meets constituents before lobbyists.
Truthfully I would bet anyone in dc meets with more lobbyists than constituents. Not many people travel to dc to discuss an issue with their representative.
Are you all just awakening to the way Washington works?
Interestingly, someone I know, his father is a lobbyist. Guy seems like the nicest guy in the world. I can only imagine what he turns into when the door closes.
Come to think of it, I think my wife worked at a dem lobbying firm a long time ago. Not as a lobbyist of course (she was too young). Yeah that whole industry is dripping with money. They had several really high paid lobbyists, a huge office right in the capital. It would be crazy if we found out how much money goes into lobbying countrywide. It wouldn’t surprise me if it could go a long way towards providing universal healthcare.
I don’t like it, but that’s how Washington works.
