On his work at the legislature, Barthel professes to trust the legislative process, claiming “there are so many checks and balances along the way” to ensure the quality of the acts adopted. He also sees the benefits of keeping a good relationship with the media as a way to "get your message out" and gauge the reaction. Barthel also sees lobbyists as a "great resource” and experts in their respective fields. “They’re certainly a key part of the whole process.”[4]
