Empowering Congress: The Urgent Need for an Evidence Commission

Recording

Overview

The Data Foundation, USAFacts, and Results for America hosted a timely webinar on the proposed Congressional Evidence Commission. We'll explore H. Con. Res. 49, which aims to establish a bipartisan commission to promote evidence-based policymaking in Congress. Learn how this commission could revolutionize congressional decision-making by incorporating real-time data, improving access to administrative data, and increasing data expertise in the legislative branch. With recent changes to the Chevron doctrine and growing governance challenges, we'll discuss the urgent need for this commission and its potential to transform how Congress operates in our data-driven world.
