House Ag Committee Named One of the Best Websites on Capitol Hill

Tue, 25 Oct 2011 08:39:16 CDT

House Ag Committee Named One of the Best Websites on Capitol Hill Today, the House Agriculture Committee was recognized as one of the best websites on Capitol Hill and given a "112th Congress Bronze Mouse Award." The award was given by the Congressional Management Foundation (CMF), a nonpartisan nonprofit working to improve communications between citizens and Congress and enhance operations in Capitol Hill offices. CMF has assessed and graded congressional websites and issued these awards since 2001.


"Chairman Frank Lucas is to be commended for educating citizens and achieving the highest degree of transparency and accountability in online communications," said Bradford Fitch, President and CEO of CMF. "In the 21st Century, a website is much more than a broadcasting tool for a political message - it's a virtual office and a window into our democratic institutions. These winners of the Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze Mouse Awards understand the value of using the Internet to enlighten and serve constituents, and are examples for all congressional offices to follow," he said.


Chairman Lucas responded by saying, "I appreciate this honor and recognition. It is important that the Agriculture Committee use every tool available to stay connected with its constituents in the countryside. It is my hope that the website and other social media platforms will continue to inform those who live and work in rural America about the issues that directly impact them."
