Washington Press Club Foundation wishes to thank our guests and supporters of the 76th Annual Congressional Dinner

The Washington Press Club Foundation thanks all who joined together in 2022 for a great evening benefiting a great cause. Two brave speakers, Sen. Joni Ernst, and Rep. Pete Aguilar, and the fabulous master of ceremonies, Geoff Bennett entertained the hundreds of guests assembled at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Washington, DC.

These lawmakers dazzled the sold-out audience of journalists and their congressional guests with their take on the lighter side of Capitol Hill life.

The Annual Congressional Dinner is the foundation's signature event, allowing journalists and the members of Congress they cover to come together for a nonpartisan evening in the spirit of promoting women and minorities in the nation's newsroom.

The foundation honored award-winning journalist Carole Simpson with its Lifetime Achievement Award.

The foundation announced the winners of the annual David Lynch Award, Tia Mitchell and Nick Grube, recognizing excellence in coverage of Congress from a regional perspective.

Thank you to our 2022 Sponsors: POLITICO, Punchbowl News, Klarna, Toyota, SoftBank, Ford Motor Company and The Walton Family Foundation.
