Lobbyists systematically build up support for their causes, over years and decades. Often, they fund a study, survey, or research that might sway a politician's opinion or their constituency's opinion.
More often, though, they act more directly—by giving money. Increasingly, lobbyists are ensuring contributions are made from the grassroots up to influence decision-makers at all stages.
These contributions aren't directly paid to any official or lawmaker. But they might go to that person's election or re-election campaign—purchase advertising, finance a fundraiser—or to a politician's favorite cause, charity, hometown, or state project.
