Congressional offices have been facing new challenges during the Coronavirus pandemic. These challenges have forced offices to rethink constituent priorities, staff responsibilities, and how to address an ever-growing focus on responding to constituents back home. Constituents seek assistance in a variety of areas ranging from impacted small businesses, increasing unemployment, stimulus relief checks, and other routine and non-routine casework.

To help congressional offices at this time, CMF hosted a webinar on Friday, May 8: "Creative Responses in Congress to Increased District/State Needs." This program featured three senior congressional managers: Michelle Dorothy, Chief of Staff for Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA); Liz Dellwo, State Director for Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT); and Rick Jakious, District Director for Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA). They shared their experiences, challenges, and how they chose to address the increased workload back in their districts/states.
