TechCongress

The mission of TechCongress is to build a 21st century Congress by leveraging technology talent. The organization places computer scientists, engineers, and other technologists as advisers to Congress through early and midcareer fellowships in Republican and Democratic offices. Fellows’ work spans issues including AI, election security, privacy, cybersecurity, mis- and disinformation, the future of work, and other emerging technology issues. The ultimate objective of TechCongress is to galvanize both parties on Capitol Hill to independently hire staff with technical skills. TechCongress will be successful when Congress is solving its own tech deficit and the organization is thereby no longer necessary. (Substrategy: Legislative Branch)
