Lucy McBath Receives 2026 Democracy Award for Best of Bipartisan Collaboration | 2026-06-16 | 2026 | 2026-06 | Democrat | House | GA | Lucy McBath | M001208 | mcbath.house.gov | mcbath | https://mcbath.house.gov/category/press-releases/ | scraper | Atlanta, GA — Rep. Lucy McBath (D-GA-06) and her office have received the 2026 Democracy Award for “Best of Bipartisan Collaboration” by the Congressional Management Foundation (CMF). This is the second CMF award McBath has won, with her office receiving the “Best of Constituent Service” award in 2024. The award honors the representative’s fostering bipartisan relationships and collaboration on behalf of Georgia. The Best of Bipartisan Collaboration category recognizes offices that foster bipartisan relationships and collaboration to achieve positive outcomes and advance effective governance. McBath has led 12 pieces of legislation into law since coming to Congress in 2019. “Working well with both parties has always been central to how I serve the people of Georgia in Congress. Too often, people expect Washington to be stuck in conflict, but I believe real progress is possible when colleagues on both sides work together to deliver for our neighbors,” said Rep. McBath. “It has been a priority for my office to build the trust needed to find solutions that help our constituents. I am honored to receive this recognition from the Congressional Management Foundation, and I thank my staff for their hard work in building these relationships on behalf of those we serve.” “Effective bipartisan collaboration requires more than a willingness to work together—it requires trust, persistence, and a commitment to finding common ground where progress is possible. What distinguished Rep. McBath’s office was not simply a willingness to work across the aisle, but a sustained commitment to doing so. By building relationships, establishing credibility, and focusing on shared goals, the office demonstrated how bipartisan collaboration can translate into meaningful results and more effective governing,” said Jen Daulby, CEO of the Congressional Management Foundation. The Congressional Management Foundation is the premier bipartisan foundation dedicated to strengthening the first branch of government. The Democracy Awards are CMF’s signature program recognizing the best in congressional non-legislative achievements. | 1 | 2026-06-18T06:41:00Z | 2026-06-18T06:43:25Z |
