Democrats occupy 21 of the top 25 and 39 of the top 50 spenders on congressional staff aides in a ranking of all 437 members of the current House of Representatives, according to data compiled by LegiStorm.
While Democrats have the House majority now in the 116th Congress, the rankings were almost identical in the previous Republican-led 115th Congress in 2017 and 2018, with 19 of the top 25 House slots going to Democrats, as well as 36 of the top 50.
