The 2010 mid-term elections saw the GOP win the Houseof Representatives and claim a bigger margin in the Senate, prompting President Obama to acknowledge responsibility for what he called the "shellacking" Democrats took at the polls. Along with renewed introspection from the White House and Democrats on the Hill, the changes sparked bitter intramural battles among Republicans for committee leadership posts. The new House majority also set in motion fundamental organizational changes to committees, and sweeping legislative initiatives aimed at rolling backthe Obama administration agenda. Meanwhile, working behind the scenes to write bills, map out legislative maneuvers and block the opposing party's political moves are hundreds of Capitol Hill staffers. Some old, many new, congressional aides on both sides of the aisle are playing a vital role in the 112th Congress. The fast-paced changes in the legislative landscape can be daunting. But there's one place you can always count on to tell you who's in, who's out, and who is the most effective person to address your cause: The Almanac of the Unelected. While members of the House of Representatives and the Senate enact laws, it is often their staffers who exert the greatest influence in the lawmaking process. Staffers advise their elected bosses, establish political positions on issues, craft legislation, put policies in place, and play important roles on scores of congressional committees. Now in its 23rd year, the Almanac of the Unelected contains in-depth profiles on key congressional staffmembers that you will not find elsewhere. In addition to contact information and other pertinent data, the Almanac is constantly updating itself to give you the inside track. Our writers conduct one-on-one interviews with congressional staffers to make sure you know precisely which issues they are handle and what bills will pass their desks each year as they help to craft new or refine the existing laws and codes that govern our nation. With all the sweeping changes that have taken place since the mid-t."
