[Select Committee on Modernization (Archived) @ModernizeCmte]

Chair @RepDerekKilmer and the Committee members are ready to continue their work proposing bipartisan reforms to make Congress work better for the American people!

[Michael Thorning @ThorningMichael]

Some of the best news in 2020 for our democratic institutions. The bipartisan commitment of this committee—with the support of @SpeakerPelosi @GOPLeader—has been fruitful and there are more opportunities ahead. This may be the greatest accomplishment of the 116th Congress.

[Bipartisan Policy Center Action @BPCAction]

🎉 @ModernizeCmte proves that both parties can work together to develop big solutions to major problems under trying circumstances. The committee was efficient and collaborative, and we look forward to helping advance their work in the 117th Congress!

[Select Committee on Modernization (Archived) @ModernizeCmte]

In less than two years, the Modernization Committee:

⚪️ Held 16 hearings
⚪️ Passed 97 recs
⚪️ Had 38 recs implemented
⚫️ All of the above

Now, Chair @RepDerekKilmer and committee members can continue to make Congress work better for the American people in the 117th! 🎉

"Call @ModernizeCmte confidence building blocks or the glue to pull things back together, but the Congress is capable of operating both as a partisan political institution as well as a national problem solver." https://t.co/ODam3Y6y3j

#DYK: @ModernizeCmte has made the most ambitious and successful effort to reform the House since the 1970s? Hear more about this bipartisan committee and its critical work to #FixCongress: https://t.co/AXdvTzOnVt

@ModernizeCmte has taken the most significant step in decades to reform the institution - but its work is far from over. To ensure the 117th Congress can be as efficient and effective as possible, Congress should extend the committee's mandate. https://t.co/hTDSxF7QT5

The Legislative Branch is the people's branch of government, yet it's often misunderstood. To better understand the First Branch, @kevinrkosar explains its infrastructure, culture, procedures, history on the Understanding Congress podcast - check it out! https://t.co/qghjDN1S3M

[Congress That Works @CongThatWorks]

@ModernizeCmte was efficient and collaborative despite the impeachment of a president and an ongoing public health and economic crisis. Its resilience sets an example for the rest of Congress. Let's continue this important work in the 117th Congress. https://t.co/hTDSxFpshF

This Thanksgiving, we're thankful for @ModernizeCmte serving as an example of the solutions that can be made when Democrats and Republicans come together. Now more than ever, its existence is necessary: https://t.co/hTDSxF7QT5

[FirstBranchForecast @CongressRadar]

Will the @ModernizeCmte be extended? Last week, 37 organizations (including us) sent a bipartisan letter urging the SCOMC be brought back next Congress. https://t.co/OSsJiHv5BC

[Congress That Works @CongThatWorks]

@ModernizeCmte has passed nearly 100 bipartisan recommendations to strengthen the Legislative Branch, but its work is far from over. Hear more about how this committee is creating a more effective, efficient Congress: https://t.co/AXdvTA5YN1

“The common thread in our focus of @ModernizeCmte's mission is to make Congress better for the American people, and I think that is very important.” – Hear Modernization Committee Chair @RepDerekKilmer share more about the committee’s critical mandate: https://t.co/AXdvTA5YN1

[Congress That Works @CongThatWorks]

@ModernizeCmte is making the most ambitious, wide-ranging and successful reforms to the House since the 1970s, but much more work remains to be done. We must extend the committee’s mandate to overhaul Congress.

[Rep. Derek Kilmer @RepDerekKilmer]

As Chair of @ModernizeCmte (aka the "Fix Congress" Cmte), I've been working with Democrats & Republicans to make Congress more effective, transparent, and efficient. I joined @RepTimmons to talk about the progress we've been making - and the road ahead. https://t.co/h5FMgoy5c1
