The Hill Times’ Top 100 Lobbyists in 2026

Hunter Cresswell, Jesse Cnockaert and Sergiy Slipchenko | March 16, 2026

Every year, The Hill Times and The Lobby Monitor join forces to publish the “Top 100 Lobbyists” list. To help compile this year’s list, we reached out to more than 30 seasoned government-relations professionals from industry associations, advocacy groups, and consulting firms for input on who should be added to the list, who should be removed, and why.

The list isn’t a popularity contest, but is intended to showcases prominent federal lobbyists based on their reputation and effectiveness according to their peers.

This year’s list was compiled by The Hill Times reporter Jesse Cnockaert, The Lobby Monitor‘s editor Sergiy Slipchenko and The Lobby Monitor‘s deputy editor Hunter Cresswell. The list is organized alphabetically by last name.
