And from Legistorm’s free weekly newsletter:

Republican staffers are more likely than their Democratic counterparts to pass through the revolving door, according to LegiStorm data.

So far this year, 415 partisan ex-staffers have registered as federal lobbyists or foreign agents. Of those, 225 (54%) were Republicans, and 190 (46%) were Democrats. Republicans made up 53% of partisan staffers who registered as lobbyists in 2022.

For over a decade, Republicans have made up the majority of staffers-turned-lobbyists every year except 2021, when numbers were virtually tied.
