What's Happening in Congress

US Congress West

During a weekly “Wilson Policy Brief Series” Wilson Center Scholars and expert guests provide their analysis of the current state of the world during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The eighth installment of the series featured a conversation with Congressman Charlie Dent, Senior Policy Advisor at DLA Piper LLP (US); and Wilson Center CEO, Congresswoman Jane Harman. The two discussed what is currently happening in Congress: the end of bipartisanship, the ballooning deficit, and whether Congress can or should provide more relief for COVID-19.

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 private briefings, with the purpose of increasing congressional staffers’ knowledge of foreign policy. We also coordinate outreach to Capitol Hill, including testimonies by Wilson Center scholars and briefings specifically for Members of Congress.   Read more
