There is no shortage of bipartisan support for stopping former lawmakers from becoming lobbyists and cashing in on their public service. It’s now up to Congress to push one of these bills through and help ensure that America’s policies serve the people, not wealthy authoritarian regimes.

Plenty of current lawmakers are essentially active lobbyists too, including the Democratic minority leaders in both the House and Senate.
