Men still outnumber women in lobbying, data shows

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on March 4, 2024

Women make up a growing proportion of registered lobbyists — but they're still ringing in Women's History Month as a K Street minority.

According to LegiStorm data, women made up about 39% percent of last year's registered federal lobbyists and foreign agents. That percentage has trended upward since at least 2000 (the first year that reliable lobbying data is available), when women made up about 33% of all lobbyists.

The total number of female lobbyists has also grown over the years, from about 4,000 in 2000 to over 5,000 last year.
