The revolving door

Former members of Congress who are now registered federal lobbyists, from the "covered official" disclosures on Lobbying Disclosure Act filings. 125 former members

Registered lobbyists must disclose when they previously held a "covered" government position (2 U.S.C. 1603). We flag the ones whose name matches a former or sitting member of Congress (and whose disclosed role isn't a staffer's), and link the ones still in our roster to their record. Filings also name 5,161 covered officials in total, most of them former congressional or executive-branch staff. Lobbying is legal, disclosed activity.
