Quorum also named The Hill as the most followed media organization, with 372 Member followers, leading all other media sites, including Politico and the Washington Post.

"The Hill has been at the forefront of 2016 political coverage, and we're proud to be the news source that Members of Congress turn to, especially during this important election cycle."
