This session is a unique one for lobbyists, who typically do a lot of their work in the hallways of the Capitol building.
Amy Brackenbury, who lobbies on behalf of the Washington State Public Health Association and the Public Health Roundtable, said it’s been much harder to get things done.
“I had a thing earlier this year where it took three Zoom meetings with a bunch of different people to try and figure out something that normally would have been resolved in a two-minute hallway conversation. Every communication has to be intentional, because you’re not just bumping into people and saying ‘oh hey I needed to talk to you about this thing.’ So every communication has to be intentional and it makes it a lot harder to be accessible. And if someone doesn’t want to talk to you, it’s a lot easier for them to do that now.”
