Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
This resolution supports the designation of April 2026 as "National County Government Month" to recognize the work of county governments and their employees across the United States. The measure honors the approximately 3.6 million public servants working in the nation's 3,069 counties, parishes, and boroughs, which provide essential services including public safety, infrastructure, health care, and social services to residents. The resolution encourages county governments to use the month to educate the public about their roles and responsibilities through activities like open houses, facility tours, proclamations, and social media campaigns. It also calls on Congress members to engage with their local communities to raise awareness about the importance of county government in American life. This is a symbolic resolution with no funding or enforcement mechanisms, simply expressing congressional support for recognizing the county government workforce and their contributions to the intergovernmental system.
