Data compiled by the R Street Institute show that Senate and House staffers in D.C. have hovered around 6,000 from 1987 to 2014. Over the same period, staff numbers back in the home state and district offices grew steadily to the point where, a few years ago, the differential shrank to just a few hundred.
