From now until Sunday, September 9th, we’re recruiting for our fourth class of Congressional Innovation Fellows.  We started in 2015 with two fellows, and have grown incrementally since.  This year, we’re growing again, recruiting for up to ten fellows to serve in Congress for one year beginning in January 2019.
