Lobbying firms increasingly shift money and staff to where they see their influence have greater impact — in state capitals
That’s what K Street itself is increasingly concluding.
As partisan divides ensnare congressional lawmakers in stalemates over key legislation, many lobbying firms find it faster to take their efforts to governors and state legislatures. State leaders have become as influential as they’ve ever been and are now shaping the national conversation on issues as diverse as energy policy and abortion rights.
“The more that there’s gridlock in Washington, the more the states become the place where people feel they can make progress on issues no matter what the issue is and what side of it they’re on,” Iselin said. And even as the amount of state-level lobbying spending continues to rise, there remains no shortage of business for firms in the nation’s capital. Federal lobbying spending also reached a record number in 2021, nearly $3.8 billion, according to the OpenSecrets data. Early indications based on spending levels reported show that the number may increase this year.
