From the article "According to the Center for Responsive Politics, for example, the AOA spent $1.8 million on lobbying and another $1.4 million on campaign contributions in 2016."
I agree 100% with what the author but the combined $3.2 million does not seem like much compared to how much Google, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft and Apple spent on lobbying:- $63 million.

- listenallyall 7y agoPerhaps you're a plant intending the minimize the impact of lobbying by comparing to FAANG, comprised of the wealthiest companies on the planet. But 3.2 million goes a long way in U. S. politics, especially when there's nobody lobbying against you, and you aren't really asking for anything new, just to prevent the existing, burdensome, anti-competitive laws from being repealed.
