This episode is a dialogue between Cody and Jada about someone who works to try to influence public policy. Let’s get started.
[start of dialog]
Cody: You’re not the kind of person I would expect to work as a lobbyist.
Jada: Why not?
Cody: I picture lobbyists as being kind of pushy and corrupt, using underhanded tactics.
Jada: It’s not like that at all, at least not for me. I just use my powers of persuasion to help my clients.
Cody: So what do you do exactly?
Jada: I meet with legislators and try to sway them to support laws that are favorable to the people and companies I represent, and to discourage them from voting for laws that aren’t.
