Congressman Lucas Launches New Congressional Web site

Jan 19, 2012

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Frank Lucas today unveiled his new congressional Web site. Lucas updated the site so constituents of Oklahoma’s Third Congressional District can experience more usability and functionality while they are navigating his online office.

“I believe the new Web site will serve the constituents of Oklahoma’s Third Congressional District better with its updated design and newly added features,” said Lucas. “The previous site was getting outdated, and it is my priority to provide the best online services possible to my constituents. I hope you can visit the Web site and take advantage of the great resources it has to offer.”

Lucas’ Web site features an updated Friends of Frank newsletter sign-up box on the home page. Constituents can easily sign-up for updates by entering their county and email in the fields listed in the box on the homepage. After signing up, constituents will start receiving newsletters with information about the current issues Lucas is working on in Congress.

The Web site has also been updated with a new Thomas Bill Search feature that is located on the home page. This feature allows people to easily type in a bill number or a word relating to certain legislation and search the Library of Congress database for information on a bill. In addition, Oklahomans can now find out how Lucas voted on certain bills by visiting, http://lucas.house.gov/legislative-work/voting-record. The Lucas voting record feature was added to increase transparency and allow constituents to easily find information on how Lucas has voted on recent legislation.

Lucas has modernized the overall design of the Web site by updating the colors and graphics. The forms have been updated so constituents can easily request meetings, invite Lucas to speak, email Lucas, or send in casework or flag requests. Additionally, the homepage now includes a photo and video viewer so constituents can view his latest media events.

Lucas is encouraging constituents to visit the Web site at www.lucas.house.gov, to see what the newly updated Web site has to offer them.
