Interest groups influence public policy and political decisions by advocating for specific issues and interests, often through lobbying efforts. They mobilize members to participate in advocacy campaigns, contribute to political donations, and provide expertise to legislators. By exerting pressure on policymakers, interest groups can shape legislation and regulatory outcomes. While they play a crucial role in representing diverse viewpoints, their influence can lead to concerns over inequitable access to policymakers and distorting public interests in favor of a select few. This interplay between interest groups and government raises essential questions about democratic representation and accountability.
