Nov05 Darrell Issa: THE 20 MOST INNOVATIVE PEOPLE IN DEMOCRACY 2012: and Darrell is one of them. Here is why he was selected as a "Tech Titan" by leading technology outlet TechCrunch:
"Congressman Darrell Issa (CrunchGov Grade: A)
Better known for being Obama’s conservative arch-rival as chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Congressman Darrell Issa moonlights as a champion of bleeding-edge legislative innovation. As an engineer and former President of the Consumer Electronics Association, he personally helped develop Congress’s first legislative crowdsourcing utility, Project Madison. He also live-streams every Oversight hearing and is developing ways for the public to interact with members of Congress during the otherwise opaque process of subcommittee meetings (where most legislation gets written). If that weren’t enough, he also introduced the DATA Act, a bill to make all federal funding trackable online. Proof of his nerd cred: The day he indicted Attorney General Eric Holder for contempt, he was at a wonky open government conference, the Personal Democracy Forum, while every political reporter was begging for access to him."
This is an honor, but there's a lot more work to do to apply technology to make government more open, participatory and accountable to American taxpayers like you.
