Rep. Ted Lieu, one of the few Members of Congress that's studied computer science, shares his thoughts on TechCongress and the need for more tech talent in the Capitol building.
“As one of four Members of Congress with a computer science degree, I see an alarming lack of technological expertise on Capitol Hill. This knowledge gap has contributed to devastating cyber security breaches and ill-advised proposals to create a backdoor to encryption technology. As policymakers grapple with an increasingly integrated world of technology, we could greatly benefit from having Tech Congress fellows on our staffs.”
