Description: Stealth Lobbying by Amy Melissa McKay Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This book provides new insight into how and when lobbyists influence the American policy-making process, presenting compelling evidence that members of Congress provide greater access to, allow more influence from, and even insert legislation requested by the interest groups and lobbyists who provide financial assistance to their campaigns. Publisher Description Politicians and lobbyists have incentives to conceal any quid pro quo relationships between them, leaving scholars largely unable to link campaign money to legislative votes. Using behind-the-scenes information gained from novel data sources such as legislators schedules, fundraising events, legislative amendments, and the campaign contributions of individual lobbyists and the political action committees these lobbyists control, Amy McKay instead investigates how lobbyists influence the content of congressional legislation. The data reveal hidden relationships between lobbyists campaign assistance and legislators action on behalf of those lobbyists. Relative to constituents and even average lobbyists, the lobbyists who provide campaign money to members of Congress are more likely to secure meetings with those members, to see their requests introduced as legislation, and to achieve a larger portion of their legislative goals adopted into law. These findings raise important normative concerns about the ability of some to use money to co-opt the democratic process.
