Bloomberg Government has the largest number of credentialed reporters on Capitol Hill, but our in-depth coverage doesn’t stop there. With a team of dedicated, state-focused reporters and news aggregated across more than 35,000 sources, our State News Search allows you to be among the first to know about key events, developments, and conversations.

“It’s one thing to see that a particular legislator has co-sponsored or introduced a new bill,” said Bloomberg Government’s research analysis manager Will Matthews, “but we pair that with the story on the ground, either from BGOV reporters or from any of our 35,000 external news sources, to give you the relevant quotes, a sense of the context in which the bill is being introduced, and a better feel of what’s actually happening than just the bill is going to give you.”

Top Performing Lobbying Firms

The influence industry is booming. Lobbying firm revenue increased by $100 million in 2020 and hit an all-time high despite flat overall lobbying spending by companies, associations, and other organizations.

Bloomberg Government’s annual Top-Performing Lobbying Firms report focuses on the 317 lobbying firms that reported $1 million or more in revenue in 2020 and lobbying activity in each quarter of 2020 — and highlights those that had an outstanding year based on a series of important performance metrics, including revenue increase, revenue per client, and long-term client retention.

Essential intel in one place

Bloomberg Government’s expert coverage and analysis of key legislative issues and processes helps you prepare for every scenario in the ever-changing world of policy. One such topic on our radar? Congressional redistricting. Redistricting will have a major impact on the political landscape heading into 2022 — but it’s also not the sole determinant in future election outcomes:

Redistricting will set up the fight for the House of Representatives for the next decade, starting with the coming midterm election.
Democrats control the House by less than half a dozen seats and a shift of a few seats could tip power back to the GOP.
Redistricting doesn't guarantee results. Incumbent retirements, candidate recruitment, and Biden's approval rating will affect the outcome. Read more.
