Background:

The Congressional Management Foundation's (CMF) Democracy Awards is a signature program recognizing the best in congressional non-legislative achievement. These nonpartisan awards celebrate Members of Congress and their staff who exemplify outstanding public service, operational excellence, and innovative practices that strengthen our democracy.

Each year, congressional offices self-nominate for the Democracy Awards during an open nomination period. Offices complete category-specific nomination surveys and provide additional supplementary materials, which are evaluated by CMF staff. Following this initial evaluation, Democracy Awards winners are selected by an independent selection committee.

The Best of Constituent Correspondence and Outreach award, received by Rep. Pfluger's office, recognizes the highest standards in constituent communication. It highlights the creative and impactful strategies employed by congressional offices to effectively reach and engage their constituents through letters, emails, social media, and other forms of outreach. A winner in this category will have demonstrated excellence in transparency, responsiveness, and fostering an ongoing and open dialogue between elected officials and the communities they serve.

A full list of the 2025 Democracy Awards winners can be found on the CMF website.
