That's not entirely true. It's more like if you are a significant donor your name is always going first on the schedule of meetings for that day. Local constituents will usually get scheduled over and over again until some random 15-min block that the politician usually just glazes over for. They will meet with you if whatever your issues is directly affects their ability to fundraise though.
- indymike 4y ago> local constituents will usually get scheduled over and over again I've had four US different congresspersons from both parties make a lobbyist wait when they found out it was four constituents. All of them said this: "I get so few visitors from home, and I already know what ______ is going to say." I've even ended up at lunch with senators because they are sick of talking to the same people over and over. (I go to DC as a citizen every other year to advocate for things I care deeply about)
