16 (tie). Harris Jones & Malone Lobbyist Ashlie Bagwell (7 votes)
An effective advocate who is liked and respected by pretty much everyone.
One of the few lobbyists to do both Montgomery County and Annapolis successfully.
Very effective lobbyist and provided a blueprint for pro-business entities in her work on the tip wage bill.
Pagnucco: Ashlie knows more about how Annapolis works than most senators and delegates. She would (and should) rank higher on this list except that her influence is mostly invisible – and that’s exactly how she wants it.
