The four-year-old fellowship program, which brings tech experts to Capitol Hill for a yearlong placement, announced Tuesday that each of its eight 2019 fellows has found a project. The fellows, who come from previous lives in industry, defense and even the executive branch of government, are spread across both the House and Senate, in offices and connected to committees.
