REP. KILMER RECEIVES CIVILITY AWARD
Washington, DC – Congressman Derek Kilmer (WA-06) was recognized this month with a “2022 Stubblefield Institute Civility Award”.
According to the Institute, the award is presented to elected leaders and members of the media for consistent displays of fairness and civility and aims to call attention to those who have consistently set a positive example of constructive debate, while also earning respect from those with whom they disagree.
Rep. Kilmer, a Port Angeles native, received the award, in part, for his leadership to make Congress more effective and efficient as Chair of the Committee on the Modernization of Congress – which has passed over 170 bipartisan recommendations that aim to make Congress work better.
Other recipients this year included Maryland Governor Larry Hogan; nationally acclaimed political journalists David Brooks and Mark Shields; U.S. Representative William Timmons, and U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Suzanne Clark, who represents America’s private sector.
