Notes on variation

Not every office has every role. Smaller House offices may combine the Communications Director and Press Secretary into one person, skip the Legislative Counsel, or run without a dedicated Digital Director. Senate offices — which are typically larger and serve an entire state — tend to have more specialized roles and deeper district/state operations teams.

Committee offices and leadership offices have substantially different structures. Committee staff often include counsel, professional staff members (PSMs), and investigators who report to the committee chair and ranking member rather than an individual elected official.

Titles in disbursement records don't always match common usage. A “Staff Assistant” in one office may be doing Legislative Correspondent work in another. HillGraph normalizes these where possible, but the raw title is always preserved and linked to its source filing.
