Expert Research Team

The Capitol Advantage research team comprises 12 (six full-time, six part-time) individuals from a variety of professions and disciplines including history, print and broadcast journalism and political science.

They monitor and conduct rigorous political research on Congressional and state legislature activity daily – data which serves as the cornerstone of Knowlegis and Power Rankings, an analysis of power in Congress. Additionally, the research staff provides data support to Capwiz·XC and Congress At Your Fingertips, products of our sister companies Capitol Advantage and Capitol Advantage Publishing.

Inspired by photographer Phillipe Halsman's Jump series, our team leapt at the opportunity to illustrate their love of accurate congressional data. To learn more about this renowed, well-loved artist and his technique, read this Smithsonian magazine article.
