Assessing Congress's Digital Competency

Congress is improving in its digital competency, particularly in how it operates and engages with constituents. However, there remains a significant gap between technological advancements in everyday life and Congress's capability to leverage these tools effectively. This disconnect hampers substantive citizen engagement in legislative processes while making it difficult for legislators to communicate their achievements. The progress that does occur often goes unrecognized by constituents, creating an environment where disconnection persists despite improvements.
