CQ just realeased their list of the most fabulous 50 staffers but this isn’t just your typical hill beauty contest, it requires some brains.
Roll Call’s Fabulous 50 showcases Capitol Hill’s leading Democratic and Republican staffers. These top staffers are selected based on four criteria: Mastery, Influence, Spin and Access. Mastery is awarded to the Hill’s policy and procedural experts; Influence is given to the individuals who drive the agenda, cut the deals, craft legislation and sway Members; Spin is given to Congress’ best communicators who help set the tone and frame the debate; Access is awarded to those staffers who are in the room when decisions are made.
