COD’s Director Brian Mefford met with Congressman Steve Womack

Congressman Steve Womack and COD’s Director Brian Mefford, finishing an excellent meeting at the Congressman’s Washington, DC, offices. The Congressman and our Director had a detailed conversation on the political environment in both the Republic of Georgia and Ukraine, and about our observation missions there. Such interest from senior Congressional leaders is welcome and notable – these elections are getting the attention of our friends in Congress. Congressman Womack represents the Third District of Arkansas. He also sits on the Appropriations Committee, and is on the GOP’s House Whip Team, which is responsible for helping enforce party discipline on certain votes in Congress.
