I’m Aimee the Attorney, with answers to your legal questions. In my recent interview with Mark Ellebracht, a member of the Missouri House of Representatives.
Rep. Ellebracht shed some light on how representatives work with lobbyists, too. He explained that, although lobbyists for corporations often make the news, there are actually lobbyists from a wide range of industries and concerns. Not only do companies like Ford Motor Company have lobbyists, but there are also lobbyists for a cleaner environment, climate crisis, and other important causes.
Lobbyists typically present the representatives with a packet of information about their industry or cause. The legislator may start with that packet, but they go further by researching the subject on their own to determine if the lobbyist’s information is reliable or not.
Mr. Ellebracht also said that, like any other profession, there are lobbyists that are more trustworthy than others. By building relationships with the lobbyists, the representative can learn about the issues as well as determine the value of the lobbyist’s information and position more easily. And, it’s always up to the representative to work for what is best for the people, even if the lobbyists put pressure on them to do otherwise.
Watch the whole thing to be totally up to date on how Missouri lawmakers are working for you.
