To: The Delaware State House, The Delaware State Senate, and Governor John Carney
Stop the "revolving door"
We need a bill to prevent state legislators from becoming lobbyists immediately after leaving office. It happens too often: our elected officials learn how the system works and make contacts, then leave office as our representatives to become lobbyists with bigger pay-checks and no accountability. If they represent us in the past, they have no need to become lobbyists in the future. Protect democracy, support state Rep. John Kowalko's "revolving door" bill to end this practice. Thank you.
