Steve Elmendorf, Partner, Subject Matter
The Democratic side of this Washington lobbying firm – represented by Elemendorf, who has close ties to Hillary Rodham Clinton – witnessed a slowdown in business since Clinton’s 2016 loss, but still punches above its weight on both sides of the aisle. K Street Republicans and Democrats both speak highly of his work and given how he is rallying Democratic support for the 2018 mid-term elections and House Speaker Paul Ryan’s forthcoming departure, his star is likely to rise again. Elmendorf is also rumored to be picking up clients from Tony Podesta’s now-defunct lobbying shop.
