Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA-05)

Rep. McMorris Rodgers is known for persuading congressional offices to adopt new technology and communications tools, especially in the advancement of social media. She pioneered the Digital Challenge, now in its eight year, to push offices to try new methods for engaging constituents. Through the office's use of Trello, Twitter Q+A, MailChimp, internal communication software, and chalkboard/whiteboard walls, her office is considered a model for innovation. As McMorris Rodgers puts it succinctly, "We can't sound like we're promoting 19th Century ideas with 20th Century technology to an audience in the 21st Century."

Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR)

Senator Ron Wyden's (D-OR) and his staff regularly work with Senate institutional offices to improve cybersecurity. His website was the first to be encrypted in order to maintain confidentiality between the Senator's office and his constituents; the rest of the Senate and many of the House offices followed suit. He pioneered the use of video-conferencing in the Senate so that his Washington and Oregon offices could work more collaboratively. Senator Wyden uses Reddit for Q&A sessions with constituents; conducts Facebook Live events and YouTube town hall meetings; and posts daily "Ron Report" videos on Twitter. His staff regularly answers questions from Democrat and Republican offices on how they can improve cybersecurity.
