Congressional Relations

The Wilson Center’s office of Congressional Relations works to maintain a vibrant relationship with Members of Congress and their staffs. We organize and run a series of educational programs led by Wilson Center experts, ranging from seminars to podcasts, with the purpose of increasing congressional staffers’ knowledge of international policy. We also coordinate outreach to Capitol Hill, including testimonies by Wilson Center scholars and briefings for Members of Congress.

DISINFORMATION EXPERTS

Nina Jankowicz

Disinformation Fellow

Disinformation is not a partisan problem; it's a democratic one, and it will take cooperation—cross-party, cross-sector, cross-government, and cross-border—to defeat.

Strategic and National Security Advisor to the Wilson Center's CEO & President; Director of the Science and Technology Innovation Program

No one country possesses all the capabilities needed to develop competitive technologies. No one country possesses all the critical data required to make the most of these technologies. No one country has the right governing structure to address the risks of untested technologies while simultaneously fostering innovation. The United States, Mexico, and Canada would be wise to take on this mission together.

The Wilson Center’s Foreign Policy Fellowship Program does more than dive into complex foreign policy issues, it also offers congressional staff the unique opportunity to reach across the aisle and form genuine relationships.

Katie Peake, Senator Richard Shelby (R-AL)

The FPFP truly delivers on its commitment to bipartisanship and allows for genuine across-the-aisle relationship-building that is hard to find in other organizations or opportunities available to congressional staff. Additionally, the Wilson Center continually chooses top-notch experts and consistently facilities the timely and enlightening discussions that make their programs well worth a staffers time.

Congressman David Price (D-NC)

The mission of service and support to our own work as policymakers sets the Center apart from other policy organizations in Washington, and certainly embodies the spirit of public service for which President Wilson is remembered.
