Dingell, McCain honored for lifetime as defenders of Congress and democracy
Source: Roll Call
The Congressional Management Foundation will honor the late Sen. John McCain and longtime Rep. John D. Dingell, two Capitol Hill legends who died within the past year, with lifetime achievement democracy awards next month.
The nonpartisan group, which has been around since 1977 and says it aims to make Congress more effective, also selected a bipartisan slate of six lawmakers to honor for such behind-the-scenes efforts as constituent service. Though not exactly the Oscars for Congress, the awards toast lawmakers and congressional aides for work to improve government transparency and to foster innovations on Capitol Hill.
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., will take home the “constituent service” statues.
Sen. Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, and Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Calif., will receive “life in Congress workplace environment” awards, which recognize offices that have formal policies and informal cultures that enhance the work life of their aides.
And Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., and Rep. Mark DeSaulnier, D-Calif., will take home awards for “transparency, accountability and innovation.”
