Purdue's got nothing to do with this project.

link to the lobbiest
Grammar/Spelling/Word Choice Nazi time.
The word you want is "lobbyist". Its root is the verb "to lobby", which lobbyists are known for doing, or the noun "lobby", where lobbyists are traditionally found.
(It may also mean an adherent of Lobbyism, but only with the initial capital.)
The word "lobbiest", is the superlative form of the adjective "lobby", meaning "having qualities similar to a lob"; "lobbiest" would thus mean "most similar to a lob". It is thus an adjective, which modifies a noun, and thus should not be used as the object of a preposition or the definite article.
To sum up for you tl;dr kids with the attention span of a gnat, it's spelled lobbyist.
