Senator Boozman’s office recognized for best constituent service

U.S. Senator John Boozman’s (R-AR) office has been cited as providing the best constituent service in Congress.

The Congressional Management Foundation (CMF) bestowed its Democracy Award in the constituent service category on Boozman’s office based on the senator’s consistent efforts to help Natural State residents cut through red tape involving the federal government. Boozman’s office was the only Senate office among the six finalists in this category announced in February.

In addition to his Washington office, Senator Boozman has six offices in the state, including one in Mountain Home.

Senator Boozman says this is a tremendous honor he and his staff are humbled to have earned. He says since he came to Congress, his goal has always been to use the power of the office for good. One way they do that is by providing unmatched assistance to those who reach out for help, and his says he is proud of his staff’s efforts to that end.

Boozman says when Arkansans face an issue dealing with a federal department or agency, it doesn’t matter where they’re from or what candidate or party they vote for – he and his staff are going to be there to help them however they can.

CMF recognized Boozman’s office for the comprehensive manner with which it engages constituents, helping to live up to its motto, “using the power of the office for good.” The organization highlighted the senator and his staff’s involvement in the Veterans History Project, including hosting numerous workshops to train Arkansans to capture the memories of veterans for submission to the Library of Congress. CMF praised Boozman’s office for its Facebook video educating constituents on how they can seek the office’s assistance with problems they are experiencing. It also recognized Boozman’s efforts to increase efficiency and responsiveness by promoting coordination between staff members across the senator’s state and Washington, D.C. offices.

A committee comprised primarily of former members of Congress and staff selected the winners in a blind review process where the name of the member was redacted from the review material. All of the winners and finalists will be honored at an awards ceremony in Washington, D.C. on July 13th.

The Congressional Management Foundation (CMF) is a 501(c)(3) nonpartisan nonprofit whose mission is to build trust and effectiveness in Congress.
