Posted by Keturah Hetrick on March 25, 2019 A Republican led Congress in the worst staff turnover of 2018 - but the worst all-time offenders are still Democrats, according to a LegiStorm staffer salary analysis. Including members who left Congress at the end of the term, Republican representatives made up 6 of the top 10 members with the highest turnover rates. The top spot for non-retiring members (retiring members are expected to have high turnover), went to Tom Reed (R-N.Y.). Other non-retired representatives who took the top spots included Jodey Arrington (R-Texas), Nanette Diaz Barragan (D-Calif.), Will Hurd (R-Texas), Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-Texas) and Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.). Diaz Barragan (R-Calif.) now holds the highest historical turnover rate among current representatives, followed by Jimmy Panetta (D-Calif..), Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas), Raul Ruiz (D-Calif.), Greg Gianforte (R-Mont.), Vicente Gonzalez (D-Texas), Arrington, Norma Torres (D-Calif.), Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) and Karen Bass (D-Calif.). LegiStorm’s staff turnover index is salary-weighted, meaning that the departure of a higher-paid staffer, such as a chief of staff, will count proportionately more than staff assistant or other lower-paid staffer. LegiStorm considers only full-time, non-temporary staff and excludes all interns and fellows. Some people and organizations who "caught our eye" last week: Hill Hires - Alex Beckmann, Rep. Dan Lipinski (D-IL), Legislative Assistant
