The Congressional Management Foundation (CMF) announced Rep. Gus Bilirakis as a finalist for a Democracy Award, CMF’s annual awards recognizing non-legislative achievement and performance in congressional offices. Bilirakis was selected as a finalist in two categories: Constituent Service, and Constituent Accountability and Accessibility, according to a news release.
“As a Democracy Award finalist in two categories, the Rep. Bilirakis office is clearly one of the best in Congress,” said Bradford Fitch, CMF president and CEO, in a news release.
“This designation demonstrates that Rep. Bilirakis has made a significant commitment to being the best public servant for his constituents. Rep. Bilirakis and his staff are to be congratulated for not only being a model for his colleagues in Congress, but for helping to restore trust and faith that our democratic institutions can work,” said Fitch.
Fifteen House and Senate offices were honored as finalists for excellence in public service in four categories: Constituent Service; Constituent Accountability and Accessibility; Innovation and Modernization; and “Life in Congress” Workplace Environment.
Finalists and winners will be honored at a ceremony in Washington D.C., in September.
