Dentons Public Policy principals Sander Lurie and John R. Russell IV have again been named to The Hill's annual list of Top Lobbyists in the nation's capital.

"The ranks of Washington's policy experts and influencers run deep, but these are the players who stand out for delivering results for their clients in the halls of Congress and the administration," the publication covering Capitol Hill said in a press release announcing its 2019 list.

Lurie has spent more than 30 years working in Washington, DC, on legislative and public policy issues in the US Senate as a chief of staff, legislative director and committee staffer, as well as in the private sector. His policy areas have included budget, tax, appropriations, health care, transportation and trade. Lurie was Chief of Staff to Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), a member of the Senate Democratic leadership and was named a Top Lobbyist for 2016, 2018 and 2019 by The Hill Newspaper.

Russell focuses on federal advocacy and strategic communications. He worked for nearly a decade on Capitol Hill, serving on the leadership staffs of a speaker, a House majority whip and the chairman of the House Campaign Committee. In his career, Russell has worked both extensively and effectively in the legislative, communications and campaign arenas.

The Hill previously named him a top lobbyist in 2018.
