PHOTO RELEASE: Sen. Rick Scott's Award-Winning Constituent Services Team Hosts Office Hours Events in All 67 Florida Counties

November 8, 2023

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today, Senator Rick Scott announced this year his award-winning constituent services team has hosted mobile office hours, an initiative where staff travel the Sunshine State to help Floridians in need, in all 67 counties in Florida. Last year, the Congressional Management Foundation (CMF) recognized the office of Senator Scott with a Democracy Award for the best Constituent Services in Congress. The CMF Democracy Awards recognize non-legislative achievement and performance in Congressional offices, including the constituent service category to honor offices for their outstanding practices or achievements acting as ombudsmen with the federal government or responding to constituent requests and inquiries.

Senator Rick Scott said, “Every day my team and I wake up with one mission in mind: to make Washington work for Florida families. That’s the promise I ran on, and this year we challenged ourselves to reach every country in Florida so that all of our constituents could be heard. Our team couldn't be more proud to hit this milestone of hosting Mobile Office Hours in all 67 Florida counties. It's proof that the hardworking folks in our 9 offices across the state are getting good work done for the people of the Sunshine State. We have hosted events in English, Spanish and Creole, as well as office hours following times of crises, like Hurricanes Idalia and Ian. We also host events focused on helping our veterans and seniors. If you are a Floridian in need, we are here to help. Representing hardworking Florida families is the greatest job in the world. We love what we do, and we are going to keep fighting every day to make a difference.”
