#OurDemocracy Deep Dives Lobbying Unmasked

Powerful industries like gambling, mining and tobacco spend millions of dollars employing lobbyists to meet with politicians in secret.

The use of professional lobbyists is a powerful tool in the broader scheme of influence. It’s shrouded in secrecy and allows big corporations to gain access to decision-makers in a way that isn’t afforded to everyday people. 

Want to know more about the shadowy world of industry lobbyists?
