Capitol Commentary with U.S. Rep. Dave Loebsack

Congressman Dave Loebsack -- CROPPEDU.S. Rep. Dave Loebsack
Iowa’s Second Congressional District

 

I recently wrote a guest column in the Quad-City Times about a bill I helped introduce that would permanently ban former Members of Congress from ever becoming lobbyists. In light of the recent scandal involving a former Speaker of the House, now is the time for Congress to act in order to begin restoring the American people’s trust in their legislators.​

What do you think?

Should we ban former representatives and senators from leveraging their positions in Congress for high-paid DC lobbying jobs?
