You could limit the amount of money you can make via lobbying. If it was illegal to make more than $1 MM a year through lobbying, suddenly the playing field would be significantly more level. If a corporation can pay you $1 MM and a group of citizens can pay you the same, suddenly you care more about the message than the receipt. And the majority of ultra-rich lobbyists will do something else, because that's not nearly enough money to interest them.
I'm not a fan of limiting salaries in general and I do not believe this is a good solution, but I believe it's likely to be better than the current situation. This is just me spitballing on a whim, having put approximately 60 seconds of thought into a solution. Hopefully people more informed will reply with better solutions or an informed explanation of what's wrong with my idea.
