With the 118th Congress underway, many of the new faces in both chambers will be looking to quickly demonstrate their active engagement in upcoming policy debates with their constituents.

Office, worked with Kekst CNC Intelligence to analyze their presence across four major platforms—Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn—measuring their social media follower counts and ranking them amongst their peers.
