Interest groups, unlike political parties, do not run slates of candidates for election. He"d be super appalled to see our lobbying groups/factions today. Chart shows that there are less registered lobbyists as of 2016, but we think that"s because they"re just guring out more ways to skirt having to register. The us chamber of commerce spent million on lobbying last year. Alphabet inc (google"s parents company) is near the top of the list. The national association of realtors is a very powerful organization. There are realtors in every city in america. Regulation of lobbying: lobby disclosure act of 1995. Must disclose lobbying contact with a covered legislative or executive branch o cial.
