We examine the strategic use of contract and in‐house lobbyists by interest groups in response to shifting policy agendas. The role that lobbyists play in the policy process changes based on the policy agenda. Most of the time, subsystems manage small changes to public policy, rewarding actors with long‐term relationships. Organizations with a deep interest in the issue area maintain permanent lobbying presences, earning some degree of privilege over policymaking. However, when the broader macropolitical agenda lurches toward the issue, new participants become involved. New participants often lack the lobbying expertise of the in‐house lobbyists of established actors. Contract lobbyists play a critical role in providing spare capacity on‐demand, allowing participants not normally involved in subsystems to lobby. They also allow the best‐resourced actors, who may employ a long‐term lobbying presence, to further expand it when necessary. We test this theory using a new dataset of the lobbying content of 1,370,396 bill mentions in U.S. lobbying disclosure reports by 11,842 organizations from 2006 to 2016. We compare their policy agenda to that of the U.S. Congress. We find strong evidence that organizations hire contract lobbyists to respond to brief moments of agenda setting while permanent in‐house lobbyists have a more stable agenda.

Welcome to the third issue of the Policy Studies Journal (PSJ)! We are pleased to present ten exceptional articles covering various topics related to policy theory and substantive policy domains. PSJ is committed to facilitating the exchange of quality policy research while supporting policy theory advancement and its applications across diverse contexts. As such, we invite you to fully explore the theoretical and practical insights presented in this issue. Before discussing the articles, we would like to share some news on PSJ operations. First, on June 30th, Dr. Michael D. Jones (University of Tennessee) stepped down from his role as Editor-in-Chief of PSJ. We want to express our heartfelt appreciation for Dr. Jones' service and contributions to PSJ and the policy community over the past four years. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors. In the same breath, we warmly welcome Dr. Geoboo Song (University of Arkansas) as the new Editor-in-Chief. We are excited about Dr. Song's leadership and look forward to future editorial endeavors under his guidance. Second, we are pleased to announce that Drs. Gwen Arnold (University of California Davis), Melissa K. Merry (University of Louisville), Aaron Smith-Walter (University of Massachusetts Lowell), and Holly Peterson (Louisiana State University) will continue to serve as Associate Editors, and Dr. Creed Tumlison (California State University Bakersfield) will help us as Managing Editor.
