The Congressional Federal Workforce Caucus is committed to protecting federal workers and strengthening our merit-based civil service—so public servants can continue serving the American people free from political interference.
Together, Representative James R. Walkinshaw (VA-11), Representative Steny Hoyer (MD-05), and Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) launched and now co-chair the Caucus to champion the federal workforce and the good-government values they uphold every day.
Too often, federal workers have been used as political targets when in reality, they are essential to an effective, nonpartisan government capable of impartially serving all Americans.
The purpose of the Caucus is to provide a forum for Members of Congress to:
-
Support and strengthen the federal civilian workforce and the merit-based civil service system so that it can continue to deliver for American families and businesses.
-
Protect the integrity and nonpartisan character of federal employment.
-
Advance policies that improve recruitment, retention, and workforce morale across federal agencies.
-
Highlight stories that show how government programs and workers improve the lives of the American public.
-
Develop and advance data informed policies that encourage modernization and innovative practices across the federal workforce in areas such as pay competitiveness, workforce performance optimization, and professional development.
-
Facilitate dialogue among Members of Congress, former and current federal employees, organizations and unions representing federal employees, and subject-matter experts to inform efforts to modernize the federal government and attract the workforce needed to deliver for Americans.
