We’re dying to hear what Cuba’s chief diplomat in DC has to say about the US now that American officialdom actually feels free to have him to dinner. (We’ll also wrangle an invite for mojitos at the Cuban Interests Section’s famed bar.)
5. Elise Stefanik
The youngest congresswoman ever, the 30-year-old Republican from northern New York joins a growing coterie of millennials on the Hill. Wait—will Snapchat spell the end of congressional sexting scandals?
6. Mike Wise
