My name is Sheel and I'm from TechCongress, a non-profit placing technologists on Capitol Hill to inform tech policy. Forgive the cold email, but we're recruiting for our 2021 Congressional Innovation Fellowship, placing technologists to serve as tech policy advisors to top Members of Congress (offices like. Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and the House Oversight Committee).
The program pays an $85,000 stipend and other benefits
and fellows have done incredible work like:
- Passing the OPEN Government Data Act into law
- Organizing the first hearing on facial recognition
- Securing changes to
defense procurement policy to allow startups to better compete with big
government contractors
We’re recruiting through 8/27 and there's more
