More on Congress
I’m revamping the Weekly Column to give you a greater look at what’s happening in Washington, D.C. This is the first edition of The Big Three, where I’ll share a BIG update of what’s on my mind, a BIG idea from a meeting I had, and BIG news about the hot topic in D.C.
Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representative Dusty Johnson (R-S.D.) was honored for winning the Democracy Award for outstanding Constituent Service by the Congressional Management Foundation (CMF).
My experience as an intern in Congressman Johnson’s district office has been full of new experiences, learning curves, and limitless opportunities. I have seen firsthand the impact Congressman Johnson and his staff have on everyday South Dakotans and all they do to lend a helping hand.
August has been a busy month! Every year, Congress has an extended “district work period.” It’s a time where members of Congress stop traveling back and forth to Washington and spend August in their home state to attend events or much-needed meetings, visit with constituents at fairs, sit down with business owners and community leaders, and host town halls. This time in the state helps us hear firsthand what is happening in communities big and small.
This month, my office was awarded the Democracy Award for Outstanding Constituent Service by the Congressional Management Foundation. Only one Republican and one Democrat office is selected for each award category. This award honors congressional offices for their non-legislative achievement and performance. My office has excelled at helping South Dakotans with their requests and inquiries, and this award recognizes my team’s hard work.
