Welcome to The Hill’s annual Top Lobbyists list.
2019 was a frenetic year for K Street, with a number of high-profile fights on legislative and regulatory issues, even as Washington was riveted by impeachment drama and a contentious 2020 presidential election took shape.
In a busy and testing year for the influence world, these are the people who wielded their clout and knowledge most effectively on behalf of their clients.
Not all of those honored on this list are formally registered as lobbyists. The list highlights the broad range of talents needed to succeed in the influence industry. But the people below are all at the top of their game — and the ones the nation’s biggest companies, labor unions and associations turn to when they want their voices heard in the nation’s capital.
The ranks of Washington’s policy experts and influencers run deep, but these are the players who stand out for delivering results for their clients in the halls of Congress and the administration.
[Among the top lobbyists listed in The Hill’s “Top Lobbyists 2019:” are:]Shannon Finley, Warren Tryon and Ann Jablon, Capitol Counsel
