                    "Table of Contents\n\n\nFrom a cage fight on the White House South Lawn to the Defense Secretary\u2019s call for testosterone testing of the military, a current of masculine energy has been coursing through the nation\u2019s capital this year, including, it would appear, in some high-level personnel maneuvers within the administration.\nAs we compiled this Most Powerful Women list, we were struck by how much had changed since 2025. Four Cabinet secretaries\u2014all women\u2014as well as the White House press secretary, another woman, are gone from positions they held a year ago. Not one of them so far has been replaced by another woman.\nThe loss of women in the executive branch is striking, because in every other corner of Washington, an increasing number are at the helm\u2014so many women CEOs and presidents, directors and senior leaders, that it\u2019s a challenge to pare down all the names.\nTo assemble this list, we reached out to experts in every field, asking which women are making things happen\u2014influencing a piece of the world, pulling levers, building things, bringing people together, effecting change.\nJust as their ranks have grown, what we think of as a \u201cpowerful\u201d woman has shifted through the years. At one time, it wasn\u2019t unusual for a woman to be considered powerful, or at least important, by virtue of her husband\u2019s position. Think an engaged wife of a senator or philanthropist. That version of power now seems quaint as women are occupying those Senate seats\u2014as well as executive suites, mastheads, and judicial benches\u2014themselves.\nMany have also broken out of traditional, institutional ladder-climbing to become their own spheres of influence, creating their own businesses and brands. So our list includes the CEO of a Fortune 500 aerospace company, to be sure, but also a podcaster whose political connections give her access to the White House, as well as lawyers who broke off from Big Law to start a boutique firm.\nAs always, politics is a major factor\u2014in some cases, the major factor\u2014in any measure of power in Washington. The ever-changing political landscape means this list is constantly churning.\nWe realize some of the names are lightning rods\u2014highly partisan women in highly partisan times. There are MAGA-aligned women as well as those who fight the Trump agenda every day. We don\u2019t mean to lift up either side or pass judgment on anyone\u2019s accomplishments. We\u2019re simply shining a light on the women wielding power\u2014in some cases, boldly and loudly; in other cases, quietly and with little notice\u2014in the nation\u2019s capital today.\n\nLocal Politics\n\n\nJaneese Lewis George\n\nThe DC Council member vanquished a half dozen other contenders to win the Democratic nomination for mayor, all but ensuring that the third-generation Washingtonian will next lead the city. The Howard University\u2013trained lawyer knows that one of her chief challenges will be a President who has threatened a federal takeover of DC should the Democratic Socialist become mayor. \u201cAs mayor, I\u2019m willing to work with the federal government and, yes, this administration to improve the lives of DC residents,\u201d she says. \u201cI will also stand up to anyone who harms our communities or threatens local autonomy.\u201d\n\nAngela D. Alsobrooks\nUS Senator from Maryland\nAisha Braveboy\nPrince George\u2019s County Executive\nApril McClain Delaney\nUS Representative from Maryland\nGhazala Hashmi\nLieutenant Governor of Virginia\nTara Jackson\nPrince George\u2019s County State\u2019s Attorney\nJaneese Lewis George\nDemocratic Nominee for Mayor of DC\nAruna Miller\nLieutenant Governor of Maryland\nElissa Silverman\nAt-Large Member, DC Council\nAbigail Spanberger\nGovernor of Virginia\nTammy Stidham\nAssociate Regional Director, Lands and Planning, National Park Service\nVivian Watts\nDelegate, Fairfax County, Virginia House of Delegates\n\nPower on the Hill\n\nEmily Ackerman\nFloor Director, Office of Majority Whip Tom Emmer\nStephanie Bice\nUS Representative from Oklahoma\nKatie Britt\nUS Senator from Alabama\nShelley Moore Capito\nUS Senator from West Virginia; Chair, Senate Republican Policy Committee\nKatherine Clark\nUS Representative from Massachusetts; House Minority Whip\nSusan Collins\nUS Senator from Maine; Chair, Senate Appropriations Committee\nRosa DeLauro\nUS Representative from Connecticut; Ranking Member, House Appropriations Committee\nReema Dodin\nChief of Staff for US Senator Brian Schatz\nVirginia Foxx\nUS Representative from North Carolina; Chair, House Rules Committee\nToni-Marie Higgins\nChief of Staff, Office of Senator John Boozman\nElizabeth MacDonough\nUS Senate Parliamentarian\nLisa McClain\nUS Representative from Michigan; Chair, House Republican Conference\nLisa Murkowski\nUS Senator from Alaska\nPatty Murray\nUS Senator from Washington\nAlexandria Ocasio-Cortez\nUS Representative from New York\nNancy Pelosi\nUS Representative from California; Speaker Emerita, US House of Representatives\nElissa Slotkin\nUS Senator from Michigan\nElizabeth Warren\nUS Senator from Massachusetts; Vice Chair, Senate Democratic Conference\n\nNational Politics\n\n\nNatalie Harp\n\nIf one measure of power in Washington is proximity to the President, few rival Natalie Harp, the White House aide known for her Zelig-like presence by Trump\u2019s side, including on his clandestine flight out of Turkey in July. At 35, she\u2019s responsible for much of what Donald Trump reads\u2014she supplies him with instant printouts of appealing news stories\u2014and much of what he posts on social media. Her worldview is indistinguishable from her boss\u2019s, whom she calls \u201cthe Most Consequential President in History,\u201d punctuating the comment to Washingtonian with Trump-style capital letters.\nPhotograph by Andrew Harnik/Getty Images.\nMeghan Bauer\nWhite House Cabinet Secretary\nMichelle Bowman\nGovernor and Vice Chair for Supervision, Federal Reserve Board\nLisa D.
