Does the Sunlight Foundation lobby Congress?
In January 2007, the Sunlight Foundation hired a half-time professional lobbyist to represent its interests on Capitol Hill. Sunlight’s lobbying activities have revolved around meetings with key House and Senate staff to discuss ways to improve lobbyist reporting and actively promoting transparency legislation. We are also building support for longer-term goals such as legislation or rules changes that would create greater transparency for congressional activities, as well as making lobbyist reporting more timely.
