Congresswoman Hoyle's Office Receive "Best DC Constituent Experience" Award

Congressional Management Foundation's Award Given in Recognition of A Congressional Office's commitment to constituent services

Washington, D.C. - Today, the Congressional Management Foundation announced that Congresswoman Val Hoyle's (OR-04) Washington, D.C. office has received its Best DC Constituent Experience Award for 2026. This annual award is given to an office that demonstrates excellence in serving their constituents and fostering meaningful engagement between members of Congress and the people they represent.

"An office is only as good as its staff, and in our office, it is a team effort to prioritize taking care of every constituent to the best of our ability," said Congresswoman Hoyle. "I am incredibly proud of my team for setting an example for congressional offices across the country about what constituent service should look like.

I also want to thank our constituents from across the political spectrum. This recognition would not have been possible without the many kind words and positive feedback you shared with the Foundation during its review process. You are what makes our district and our office special."

The Foundation cited several factors in selecting Rep. Hoyle's office for the award, including the team's commitment to continuous improvement, proactive outreach to Oregon students about internship opportunities in Congress, and dedication to meeting constituents wherever necessary-whether on the House floor, committee rooms or throughout the Capitol complex-to ensure every visitor has the best experience possible.

The Foundation also highlighted Rep. Hoyle and her staff's personally guided nighttime tours of the U.S. Capitol, which provide constituents with a unique opportunity to experience the Capitol after hours while connecting with fellow Oregonians from communities across the state.

In addition, the Foundation recognized the office's exceptional constituent service and communication during the 2025 Presidential Inauguration. To ensure Oregonians traveling to Washington, D.C., had uninterrupted access to tickets and assistance, the office remained open for ten consecutive days, including weekends. After outdoor inaugural events were canceled because of inclement weather, Rep. Hoyle also opened the office to ticket holders so they could have a shared experience. Constituents specifically praised the office's timely, clear and reliable communication throughout the process.

Previous Recognition for Legislative Effectiveness

The award builds on Rep. Hoyle's previous recognition as one of Congress's most effective lawmakers. Last year, she was also recognized as one of the most effective freshman members of Congress.
