## Summary

**Recognizing and promoting county governments' role** is the resolution's main goal. It would designate April 2026 as National County Government Month and urge counties to celebrate their work and explain local programs. - Would encourage America's 3,069 counties, parishes, and boroughs to pass proclamations and host events like open houses, facility tours, and school outreach to tell their stories. - Gives counties a chance to spotlight and celebrate roughly 3.6 million county public servants and the elected officials who run local government. - Aims to boost resident awareness of everyday services such as public safety, infrastructure, health care, and social services. Counties support about 70% of local public health departments and invest roughly $130 billion a year in community health and hospitals. - Urges Members of Congress to engage with their local counties to raise awareness and support county goals.
