Connecting Local Leaders to Capitol Hill
Elected officials don’t always have to travel to Capitol Hill to make their voices heard. Members of Congress and their district staff appreciate opportunities to visit facilities during district work periods.
These work periods are when members return to their district from Washington, DC to connect with their communities, as it affords them the opportunity to understand constituents’ views and opinions. Local leaders who build relationships with congressional representatives and their staff are much more likely to see their efforts affect the members’ decisions.
As Congress considers reauthorization of surface transportation and water infrastructure programs and is currently addressing a legislative vehicle to address a restrictive new OMB Proposed Rule on federal grants access, local elected officials have an opportunity to spotlight their community projects partially financed by federal programs, and position them for future federal support by inviting your Congressional delegation to see their return on investments.
