Lobbying is the process of attempting to influence government decisions, particularly legislation, on behalf of specific interests or organizations through direct contact with officials.
Lobbying affects which policies get considered and how they are written, making it a crucial element of democratic governance.
Lobbying isn't inherently corrupt—it's a constitutionally protected right to petition government, though it can be abused.
