Insider claimsmakers, such as lobbyists and interest group leaders, have established relationships with policymakers and may have direct access to them. They may be more effective in getting their policy agenda on the table and influencing policy decisions. Secondary claimsmakers and social movements may have to work harder to gain access to policymakers and get their voices heard. Outsider claimsmakers have little to no direct access to policymakers.
