Behind every successful lawmaker is an exceptional team, and constituents are best served by a high-functioning staff that is committed to excellence. Hear more from Excellence in Congressional Management award winners Rep. Richard Hudson and @budzinski.house.gov ⤵️

“What is most in shortage in politics and public service today is trust. Excellent constituent services…builds trust” Democracy Award winners for Constituent Service @repauchincloss.bsky.social & Rep. Blake Moore highlight the work of staff in building trust through effective casework.

Constituent service transcends partisan differences. And it starts with great communication. That's why we honored @warnock.senate.gov and Rep. August Pfluger with the Democracy Award for Constituent Correspondence & Outreach for prioritizing feedback & solving problems for all they serve.

We are stronger when we work together. 2025 Democracy Award winners for Bipartisan Engagement & Collaboration, Rep. Don Davis (D-NC) and Rep. Jay Obernolte (R-CA), demonstrate that bipartisanship isn't a lost art—it's the foundation of effective governance.

Thank you to the Stennis Center for Public Service for recognizing current and senior Stennis Fellows and their offices who were honored at this year's Democracy Awards! stennis.gov/program-feat...
