On December 5, 2024, Michaela Sims was once again named a Top Lobbyist by The Hill.
Welcome The Hill’s annual list of Top Lobbyists.
President Trump’s return to the White House brought a whirlwind of policy changes and political battles to Washington, D.C., creating both obstacles and opportunities for the lobbying world.
Over the past year, K Street players have stared down rapidly evolving tariff regimes, sweeping tax changes, military conflicts, deregulation campaigns and upheaval in the federal workforce.
Selected from more than 1,800 nominations this year alone, The Hill’s Top Lobbyists have made measurable impacts on the course of policy and politics, whether for corporations, small businesses, local governments, nonprofits, unions or trade associations.
The lobbyists on this list represent the industry’s savviest, most influential and well-connected advocates across Capitol Hill. The honorees span veterans and up-and-comers, retired military officials and academics, former lawmakers and staffers, and are intended to reflect the wide ranges of experiences and backgrounds of the city’s most influential K Street forces.
Congratulations to the 2025 Top Lobbyists.
