After 10 years and nearly 150 fellows placed on the Hill, @congressfellows continues to strengthen technical expertise in Congress. Check out this @inc profile on how TechCongress supports legislators writing the rules on technology: inc.com/nancy-scola/your-con…
As a TechCongress alumni, I can say this fellowship was eye opening and life changing, and the team goes out of their way to support fellows and alums. Well-deserved press.
Huge congrats (and thanks) to TechCongress, Travis, and the team. It’s not easy to make a marked improvement on the Hill. But they’ve done it over and over.
We're excited to have @congressfellows as a media partner for the 2025 AR/VR Policy Conference!
Together, we’re advancing immersive tech & policy conversations.

Are you a technologist who wants to work on Capitol Hill? Help shape tech policy in Congress as a Congressional Innovation Fellow.
Apply by July 2 👉 techcongress.io/apply
Congress does have access to technology subject matter experts (SMEs), but the level of in-house expertise is generally considered lacking compared to the complexity of modern tech issues.
They rely on a mix of resources like committee hearings with outside experts, support agencies (such as the Congressional Research Service and Government Accountability Office), and fellowship programs like TechCongress to bring in tech talent, but there’s broad agreement that Congress needs more robust and permanent technical expertise to keep up with emerging technologies and draft effective legislation.
