Hi all --

I just left the U.S. Capitol, where Rep. Quigley and Rep. Walberg hosted a Congressional Transparency Caucus event to discuss the U.S.'s commitment to the Open Government Partnership.

I wrote about the panel and the context around it before our discussion: https://civic-texts.ghost.io/will-overdue-congressional-interest-change-u-s-participation-in-open-government/

The event featured remarks from Transparency Caucus co-chairs Reps. Mike Quigley and Tim Walberg, followed by Nate Jones of the Washington Post moderating a discussion with Patrice McDermott, Christian Hoehner, and Daniel York. Video is here:

If you watch, the comment & question I asked at the end about whether OGP is doomed to fail in the USA without White House involvement and Congress getting directly involved seems pertinent to the future of this space, and many others.
