John,

As dysfunction and division command headlines, congressional approval ratings have hovered at all-time lows over the last few years, and the public’s faith in our democratic institutions and the ability of our politicians to work together has diminished.

That’s why Issue One and a broad range of groups joined together to urge House leadership to establish a committee to figure out how to make Congress work better for the American people. In 2019, the House created the bipartisan Select Committee on the Modernization of Congress to study and report on reforms that could make the legislative branch more effective and efficient, as well as how to make it a more modern legislature.

But the select committee’s legislatively mandated time is coming to a close — even though there is still more work to be done and more issues to address. Show your support for its extension!

In March of this year, the House of Representatives passed the committee’s initial set of recommendations to improve House technology, transparency, staff diversity, and more — but there’s much more work to do.

Add your name today and join us in urging Congress to reestablish this critically important select committee in the new Congress in January!

Congress must continue to seek to improve and update itself. And one of the best ways to do that is by reestablishing the select committee in the next Congress.

Add your name to show your support for the extension of the Select Committee on the Modernization of Congress.

Thanks for all you do,

Meredith McGehee
Executive Director, Issue One
