MeriTalk examines TechCongress’ one-time Congressional Digital Service Fellowship amid the coronavirus outbreak:
As Congress considers remote voting and other measures to make the body work during the COVID-19 pandemic, a California-based non-profit has started the Congressional Digital Service Fellowship in order to bring additional digital expertise to the legislative branch.
TechCongress, founded by a former Hill staffer, has sent over 20 fellows to Congress as tech policy advisors since 2016. The organization is now looking for a cohort to provide technical expertise during the pandemic.
