The Roll Call Fabulous 50

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.
