Explanation:

1. Lobbying: Interest groups hire lobbyists to meet with government officials (e.g., legislators, agency staff) to advocate for policies that benefit their group. Lobbyists provide information, research, and arguments to sway decision - making.
2. Campaign Contributions: They donate money to political campaigns (of candidates who support their interests). This can influence politicians to be more receptive to the group's concerns, as the funding helps with campaign advertising, staff, and other electoral needs.
3. Grassroots Mobilization: Interest groups mobilize their members (and sometimes the general public) to take action, such as writing letters to legislators, making phone calls, or participating in protests. This shows politicians the level of public support (or opposition) for an issue, pressuring them to act in line with the group's wishes.
