Not sure it’s lobbyists. Maybe actual bribes, or just not wanting this for personal gain later, but he can’t be re-elected. His second term for Governor ends with the 2026 election. Lobbying would imply he was taking money for his election campaign but there won’t be one for him unless maybe he’s running for a seat in the legislature?
Campaigning for a cushy job after he leaves office is also called “lobbying” because “bribery” is only when you hand a politician a bag with a big dollar sign on it and explicitly say “This is a bribe to do a crime for me”.
