The Hill’s third annual Notable Staffers event promises to once again spotlight some of the best, hardest-working and most effective Congressional staffers who have made significant policy contributions this past year. 


2025 has been one of the most consequential years in recent congressional history. With a new Republican majority and an administration eager to deliver on campaign promises, congressional offices – regardless of party – have been hard at work serving constituents and reshaping policy. This event recognizes those efforts.  


Join The Hill for a special cocktail reception celebrating this year’s Notable Staffers. The evening will include a panel discussion with members of Congress on the importance of staffers’ roles in delivering on the promise of the democratic process.

Event Themes

Balance of Power

Checks and balances, DOGE and courts, immigration and states' rights. The balance of power is being tested daily throughout the nation. What does it mean for the mid-terms and the future of politics?

Navigating the New Agenda

Policy and politics are moving faster than ever before to align with Trump’s second term goals. How will policymakers, businesses and advocates navigate this new agenda?

Rough Trade

The will they, won't they dynamic playing out in the global trade ecosystem has dominated headlines since the start of President Trump's second term. Where will tariffs stand just ahead of the summer recess?

Changing the Tax Code

Revamping the tax system to eliminate income taxes for most Americans sounds promising, but will it pass? And will tariffs be the new backbone of funding the U.S. government?

A Good Defense

A TV personality and billionaire investor are perched as the top two policymakers at the Pentagon. Where does the U.S. stand in terms of American competitiveness? Where is it racing ahead and where is it falling behind? How will the Pentagon’s bureaucratic rules for buying weapons and other equipment be transformed?

Trump's Golden Age Economy

Storm clouds are forming on the U.S. economy as fears of an economic slowdown rise. Six months into the President's term, will the strategy spell relief or recession?

Getting Up to Speed

Energy, housing, health care, technology, manufacturing and more - massive industries shifting in uncertain times. What is the outlook for doing business in America and with America?
