Yes, that is a common scenario where lobbyists are hired to influence public officials or politicians to make decisions or create policies beneficial to their clients' interests. Lobbyists may represent various clients, including corporations, non-profit organizations, advocacy groups, and individuals, among others. Their main job is to build relationships, gather information, and persuade policymakers to support their clients' goals and objectives.
