Yesterday, @ModernizeCmte and @ModComGOP held a hearing about congressional reforms of the past and their effects in the present day. I will support any policy proposal that makes it easier for Congress to be a more effective body and responsive to the needs of our constituents.

I was honored to participate in the first hearing of the new Select Committee on the Modernization of Congress. A number of our colleagues appeared in front of us to share their ideas on the best ways to improve the way the body functions.

About 2.5 years ago, @RSI & @NewAmerica convened a conversation on Capitol Hill re: congressional reorganization. Tomorrow, Congress is having a REAL hearing on the topic! legbranch.org/2016-11-22-vid… @LegBranch
More than 30 Members of Congress shared their ideas for how to improve the legislative body during our 1st hearing. We heard from @SpeakerPelosi & @GOPLeader too! There is more common ground on many issues than people realize – we are ready to get to work.
