UGA ranks fifth in producing Congressional staffers

According to LegBranch.org, the University of Georgia ranks fifth in the nation in terms of number of Congressional staffers produced out of undergraduate universities. Using a database from Congressional research web platform, LegiStorm, and information from the National Center for Education Statistics, LegBranch.org followed the educational paths of many Congressional staffers. They found that DC schools produce the most staffers on Capitol Hill, by virtue of convenience, and UGA lands close behind the University of Michigan and the University of Virginia, following American University and George Washington University.
