A new platform is providing Capitol Hill staffers with a way to anonymously rate and review members of Congress and their offices. ‘The Scoop,’ launched by Capitol CNCT on July 20, offers a verified platform for staffers to share their experiences anonymously.

The idea was developed by former staffer David Tennent, who aims to modernize the workplace experience for young congressional staffers in Washington, D.C. He noted that frustrations over ‘bad bosses’ and ‘toxic offices’ prompted the creation of this new ranking tool. Tennent said the goal is to increase transparency and help staffers find better opportunities.

Capitol CNCT ensures the reviews are authentic by verifying that reviewers have actually worked in the offices they rate. Reviews are published only after passing a background screening, which includes verifying House and Senate email addresses.

In a week since launch, staffers have started to provide reviews. The highest-rated House offices include Reps. Nick LaLota, Abe Hamadeh, Brendan Boyle, Michael Rulli, and Robert Garcia. For the Senate, top ratings go to Sens. Tommy Tuberville, Todd Young, Thom Tillis, Eric Schmitt, and Kevin Cramer.

Lower ratings appeared for the offices of Rep. Don Davis, Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, Rep. Julia Brownley, Sen. Chris Van Hollen, and Sen. Michael Bennet. These offices did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

“We verify the office in which they’ve worked. We sift through all reviews before they go live to our platform to make sure that staffer has actually worked in that office.” — David Tennent

Tennent explained the importance of verification to prevent misuse of the platform for political retribution. He hopes this tool will prompt congressional offices to improve working conditions, offering potential constructive criticism.

The launch coincides with ongoing scrutiny of Capitol Hill’s workplace culture after various offices faced allegations of misconduct. Some members of Congress, including Rep. Eric Swalwell and Rep. Tony Gonzales, have faced serious allegations, leading to their resignations.

Tennent’s vision is that when a poorly rated office receives feedback, it serves as a wake-up call. He hopes officials will implement strategies to enhance office morale and communication based on feedback from the platform.
