Marathon Strategies Launches Meet The Freshmen

Marathon Strategies has announced the release of "Meet The Freshmen," its new interactive and nonpartisan guide to the newly elected members of the 120th Congress, following the recent midterm elections. This resource is specifically designed to assist organizations, industry groups, and governmental affairs teams in navigating the shifting political landscape that is set to unfold in Washington, D.C. beginning in 2027.

Unlike traditional guides, Meet The Freshmen emphasizes accessibility and user engagement, allowing users to search by state and key issues. This feature enables users to instantly locate the incoming members of Congress who are most relevant to their specific interests and concerns. As of now, the incoming cohort consists of at least 80 new members, highlighting a significant shift in congressional dynamics attributed to a wave of retirements unprecedented in over a decade.

Phil Singer, the founder and CEO of Marathon Strategies, notes that understanding the positions of new Congress members is only one facet of effective engagement. Organizations keen on influencing policy effectively must develop strategies to educate these new lawmakers about the issues that matter to them. This educational groundwork must begin immediately, as new members are busy hiring staff and setting agendas; waiting until January could mean missing vital opportunities.

"With the arrival of a new Congress comes changes in priorities, agendas, and a host of new risks and opportunities. Organizations that invest early in understanding and engaging with these members will have the advantage," stated Singer.

Meet The Freshmen provides detailed profiles of every incoming House and Senate member, including information about their professional backgrounds, educational histories, and the campaign priorities that influenced their elections. Notably, the guide covers where each new member stands on ten vital issues projected to dominate the legislative agenda, such as affordability, immigration, energy, AI, and foreign policy.

The guide compiles information exclusively from publicly available sources, including candidate campaign websites, post-debate interviews, social media, and news reports. As election results roll in, the guide will continue to be updated to reflect any outstanding races, ensuring that the most current information is always available.

In conjunction with the launch of Meet The Freshmen, Marathon Strategies has also unveiled its Congressional Investigations Readiness practice, which prepares organizations to proactively identify and address potential political and policy vulnerabilities before they become pressing concerns. Together, the Meet The Freshmen guide and the new practice equip organizations with a road map for navigating the reconfigured Congress and help them engage effectively with incoming members who will soon be setting the legislative agenda.

For organizations looking to leverage this invaluable resource, Meet The Freshmen is now available online at www.meetthefreshmen.com.
