My comment refers to candidates for the House, Senate, and President.
What individuals and organizations are you talking about?

So you were talking about representing individual taxpayers when you used the word "lobbyist"?
Usually people mean representing

If political contributions are outlawed and only people or agents of people, meet with representatives, that should suffice to clean up government.
