Beyond the Buzzwords: What Lobbyists Actually Do w/Ali Bartlett

  • Summary

  • When it comes to jobs that get a bad wrap, lobbyists top the list. In this episode of Session Sessions, we sit down with Ali Bartlett of Bose Public Affairs Group to break down what lobbying actually is, the misconceptions (and deserved critiques) about the profession, and how it plays a critical role in shaping public policy.

    We dive into:
    ✅ The difference between a registered lobbyist and a regular advocate
    ✅ How lobbying works at the state level vs. the federal level
    ✅ The day-to-day grind of a lobbyist during legislative session
    ✅ Major issues like iGaming, casino policies, and adult education initiatives
    ✅ How bipartisanship is crucial for gaming and other policy debates
    ✅ Why precise testimony in committee hearings is an art form

    From gaming policy to nonprofit advocacy, Ali gives us an unfiltered look at how she strategizes, educates lawmakers, and navigates the legislative process.
