State Representative
Question Presented
You have asked whether the prohibition in Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) § 41-1234.01
against lobbyists making campaign contributions to and soliciting campaign contributions for
legislators during the regular legislative session applies to qualifying contributions under the
Citizens Clean Elections Act.
