Parties differ in how they pay junior and senior staff

Caught Our Eye Posted by Heavyn Lester on Tuesday, October 15, 2024

Republican offices on Capitol Hill pay their top staff more on average than Democratic offices, while Democratic offices offer more competitive salaries for lower-ranking staff.

The median GOP chief of staff salary was nearly 3% more than the median Democratic chief of staff salary in 2022 and 2023, according to annual salary records. Republican offices have also placed higher value on the deputy chief of staff position, with a median annual salary that was approximately 4% greater than the median Democratic salary in 2022 and 5% higher in 2023.

Sen. Warren is dominating the publishing sphere

Caught Our Eye Posted by Heavyn Lester on Monday, October 07, 2024

The day job Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has doesn't pay nearly as well as her side gig of writing books. 

Warren has made over $4.6 million from book advances and royalties on her 14 publications since assuming office in 2013. She earned more than $4.6 million from 2013 through last year, according to personal financial disclosures. By comparison, her day job pays just $174,000 a year.

I have found LegiStorm essential for my job and quite surprising in its capabilities. For an arts presentation I needed to give on Capitol Hill, I was able to automatically download key arts staffers associated with all members of the Congressional Arts Caucus. I also able to find staff with "art" in their education backgrounds, so they got invited too. Definitely fun, and useful.

We have found LegiStorm to be the ultimate tool in communicating with congressional offices, either individually or with a group. We have been able to reach out with messages to all chiefs of staff and legislative directors, or staff dedicated to specific areas. We believe that this ability was instrumental in passing two key pieces of legislation which were imperative to our members.

The data provided by LegiStorm stands out as the best Congressional data available. The accuracy and organization of LegiStorm's data has meant that I've been able to greatly speed up progress on my research. I have no hesitation in recommending LegiStorm to all types of researchers, journalists, lobbyists and other political professionals.
