Congressional staff are the unseen, unheard workers that make much of the legislative process possible.

The fourth edition, with about 70 additional pages of new material, discusses: Who s who How a bill becomes a law The committee system The Federal budget process Communications with constituents and the media Partisanship, polarization, and civility And many other topics essential for a successful career serving Congress

Learn how to thrive in Washington with Surviving Inside Congress.
