Joshua Kravitz
Joshua is a computer scientist and statistician interested in politics and civic technology. He is passionate about bridging the gap between technologists and non-technical stakeholders, identifying difficult societal problems where technology can make an impact.
He recently served as a Deputy Data Director on Jon Ossoff’s U.S. Senate runoff campaign, building tools to support the campaign’s voter mobilization efforts. Before that, he was the Data Director and DigiDem for Sri Kulkarni’s congressional campaign in TX-22, overseeing the campaign’s data, technological, and security priorities.
He holds a B.S. in computer science (focus: systems and AI) and M.S. in statistics (focus: causal inference) from Stanford University. While he wasn’t researching new methods for estimating causal effects at Stanford, he oversaw the student leadership team for Camp Kesem, a free camp and community for children affected by a parent’s cancer.
In his free time, Joshua likes to watch TV, read, play jazz piano, bake sourdough, and improvise. He tries to live by his favorite improv maxims: “Say Yes,” “Follow the Fear,” and “Mistakes are Gifts.”
Joshua is serving on the House Committee on Oversight and Reform’s Government Operations Subcommittee and working on issues pertaining to modernization and federal IT procurement.
