NO?, guess he’s just a lobbyist.

And what do they do? … raise money to give to politicians to get laws, regulations, and contracts favorable to their clients.

Implying that he raises money to give to politicians so he can get laws, regulations, and contracts favorable to his clients.

Don’t you think maybe the former Speaker of the House and Lt. Governer of Texas could be raising money for Democrats because he is a Democrat?
