congressional staff
Capitol Hill workers
Congressional staff are the employees who work for members of Congress or congressional committees.
They handle research, draft legislation, manage communications, and meet with constituents and lobbyists on behalf of legislators.
Senior staffers like chiefs of staff and legislative directors wield considerable influence, often shaping policy positions and negotiating details that elected officials approve but don't personally craft.
