Is the pizza tracker accurate whatsoever?

Hi, i actually work in PAC fundraising in Washington DC for 4 members of Congress. No, even if a PAC maxes out at $10,000, most politicians (or at least my clients) do not feel beholden to their interests necessarily. I’ve heard the members i work for tell lobbyists they can’t vote in their favor fairly regularly. I sit in on almost all of these meetings for my 4 members, and it’s really more establishing a dialogue/relationship over how certain bills and provisions effect an industry. It’s almost like they’re consulting with them.

Lots of people, companies, and interests nudge politicians in lots of different directions 24/7. Not to mention party leadership. It really does end up depending on the member, their conscience, and what they care about that determines how they vote. However, this is obviously not the case for all politicians.

How did you not give up? My moms been trying to write children's books for a couple years now and hasn't gotten anywhere and I can see she's close to giving up already. What should I tell her to keep her going? Her books really aren't bad at all
