The Capitol Hill Reader has 28,233 followers on Substack as of Nov 7, 2026.

Followers by day
Tracking since Nov 7, 2026. This is the first reading. Substack doesn't publish past follower counts, so history starts the day I first read a writer. The 7-day change needs a reading 7 days old; the 30-day change needs one 30 days old. Recommendation dates below go further back: they're Substack's own.
