Lobbyists lobby for causes, for money, that is their point.
If you run a small solar company, it is in your best interest to support SEIA, the member association (lobbyist) for the solar industry.
You might think the system is dumb, and it is, but if you don’t understand why it exists, you can’t design a replacement.
Lawmakers and their teams legislate on topics that they are far from experts in, so they regularly need to consult with experts. Those experts, no matter how you select them, will harbor biases.
How do you get the relevant expertise to the lawmakers? I’ve talked to a chief of staff for a senator and at that level it is a lot of responding to what is next on the agenda, and less deciding.
