Council Chairman Phil Mendelson announced today the launch of a new website for his personal office and committee.  The new website will allow the Chairman to provide more frequent updates to constituents on Council news and upcoming hearings of the Committee of the Whole.  It also provides more options for following the Chairman’s actions on the Council as well as in the community.

The new website—www.chairmanmendelson.com—is an improvement both aesthetically and substantively.   With the ability to provide frequent updates on the Chairman’s activities and Committee actions, the website is a great resource to keep residents informed about what is happening at the Council.  Notably, the website allows constituents to sign up for regular e-mail updates from the Chairman, delivering breaking news directly to one’s inbox (see http://chairmanmendelson.com/updates/).

“I hope that residents find the new website to be a useful tool for staying informed,” Mendelson stated.  “My goal is to provide timely information about Council activities and upcoming hearings so that residents can better engage with their elected officials.”

The website links to a new community blog as well, “The Mendelson Post.”  This blog will follow the Chairman in the community, and also link residents with Mendelson’s constituent services team if they have a problem that needs fixing or if they would like to report an issue.
