Lobbyist seeks to ban lobbyists

Cindy Axne introduced an amendment today to H.R. 1, the Democrats’ proposal to funnel $5 million in taxpayer money into each of their campaign accounts, seeking to end the revolving door between government and lobbying.

Axne’s problem? She’s been walking in circles through that revolving door for years. As she points out in her own press release, Axne was a government worker in Iowa for more than a decade. She was then a registered lobbyist as recently as January 2018, before being elected to Congress.

NRCC Comment: “If Cindy Axne wants to get lobbyists out of Congress, she should retire.” – NRCC Spokesman Bob Salera
