Elizabeth Warren debuted a new proposal this morning to “end lobbying as we know it”
, whose lobbyists aren’t considered foreign agents.”
— The plan would effectively ban many lobbyists from serving in government by forcing them to deregister as lobbyists for two years before entering government, with limited exceptions. “Corporate lobbyists” — it’s unclear exactly how the term is defined — would have to wait six years before serving in government — no exceptions, no waivers.
— There are also proposals to require more disclosure from “political intelligence” firms and to restrict “companies’ ability to hire former senior government officials, in an apparent attempt to crack down on former lawmakers and administration officials who advise corporate America without doing anything that would force them to register as lobbyists.”Brand USA, the public-private partnership tasked with promoting the U.S. as a travel destination to visitors abroad, is set to expire in 2020.
