"Lobbyists of the Senate" By: Aariana Maynard

According to Current Lobbyist Henry Boyle, the job of being a lobbyist is unlike any other. The lobbyist involves presenting argument and counter arguments for a specific bill. It is the lobbyist job to sway and or influence the vote for the better. When asked how being a lobbyist is Boyle states, “it is definitely interesting, being able to be behind the lines of all the people who have the voice; it is also interesting to observe those who agree with you and telling what can be said in support of a bill.” Also, Boyle states it is great to have influence without the front line working of say a bill patron, senator, or delegate.

            Why become a lobbyist? YOU should become a lobbyist because involves the same amount of research, however does not require the vote of one who may not underhand the interworking’s of a bill or have little background involving a bill. Current Lobbyist Henry Boyle shares a word of advice for those who desiring to be a lobbyist as he says “Use the words and the research you have done to the best of your ability, one may never know what influence their words might have for the future generations.”
