"FiscalNote's technology-driven approach to products and services is the perfect complement to CQ Roll Call's editorial excellence and advocacy services," said Stibbs in the announcement, which added that FiscalNote would "uphold CQ Roll Call's editorial independence while identifying opportunities to adapt and grow in a transforming news landscape."
