or a Congress?

One thing about lobbyists is curious though, because so many Congresspeople live in seemingly "safe" districts that they certainly should neither be afraid of lobbyists nor feel the need to be purchased by lobbyists.

But I guess if $1,000,000 went to a challenger then the district might not seem quite so safe.
