Sometimes we have to hire additional lobbyists. Usually, though, we just keep working longer hours. We work at night and on weekends quite a lot. Joy, good question. They make less.
Some lobbyists work for corporations as an employee.
Some are in their own firm. It can be anywhere from a little to, for a few very successful lobbyists, a lot. Likewise, I've known the Vice President since he was a congressman. Also I would tend to agree with their policies. However, we do try to persuade people in the administration to take an interest in issues we are working on.
