A big thank you to Patrick Ryan for snapping some great shots last night.

Last night, some of DC’s hardest working Hill staffers, flacks, reporters, lobbyists, fundraisers, corporate folks, policy wonks, digital media nerds and a random bearded man from West Virginia, gathered at Hill Country BBQ for another FamousDC Happy Hour. Thanks to our lead sponsor National Journal Hotline and our headlining sponsors Hamilton Place Strategies, Vote …
