Explanation

Lobbyists try to influence government by providing officials and the public with information, helping propose or draft legislation, and meeting with legislators to persuade them. They may advocate for a bill, but only members of Congress vote to pass laws, and lobbyists do not fill senators’ or representatives’ key staff positions.
