WASHINGTON, May 4, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Bloomberg Government (BGOV) today launched updated congressional staffer directory pages, designed to help professionals expand their Capitol Hill networks and be better prepared for key meetings.

"Bloomberg Government's updated congressional directories service delivers the deep background professionals need - in depth, in detail, and in seconds," says Josh Eastright, Head of the Government Affairs Business at Bloomberg Government. "Our clients need to get acquainted with key staffers in a hurry, to connect the dots, and be ready for meetings. Our updated directory suite keeps them in the know on the people who make Washington work. The detailed profiles of staffers complement our existing offering for Members of Congress, agencies and government affairs contacts, creating a complete picture of this ecosystem."

The updated congressional staffer pages include contact information, social media links, career history and education, along with links to colleagues in their current office and previous positions. Leveraging BGOV's proprietary technology, clients will also see links to "related documents," if the contact is mentioned in official documents like Dear Colleague letters and Committee Reports. All content is updated on a daily basis.

BGOV's new mobile app, launched last week, features three directories - Members of Congress, Congressional Staffers, and White House Staffers - allowing clients on-the-go access to important information they need to be at the top of their game. The app also includes access to news and analysis and a calendar of key DC events. Bloomberg Government clients can download the app from the Apple App Store and use their existing login details for access.
