There is a Washington Post article today on the increase in hiring of Democratic lobbyists on K Street. Washington, DC lobbying firms believe that there is a good chance that Democrats will not only pick up a significant number of Congressional seats this year, but will also win a majority position in the House of Representatives. As lobbyists are hired to gain access to Congresspeople and their staff, they feel it is important that they have an equal proportion of lobbyists from those officials' own respective political parties.
