Paul has vast experience in the lobbying profession and in January of 2006, he introduced the first lobbying certificate program for the profession. Paul has led the fight to bring about changes to the electronic filing system for lobbying disclosure forms in the House of Representatives. Paul was also instrumental in shaping the debate on lobbying reform in 2006 and 2007.

He has been a tireless champion in the fight to protect every citizen’s right to petition their government through lobbying activities.

Paul has traveled abroad to talk with foreign leaders about their efforts to implement lobbying rules and regulations. He has met with leaders from Peru, Indonesia, Great Britain, Viet Nam, Czechoslovakia, Italy, Scandinavia, Poland, and Japan.
