Video: Demand Progress Webinar on FY 2022 Appropriations Public Witness Testimony
From Demand Progress:
In prior years, public witnesses have been very fortunate to have their voices heard by Congressional appropriations lawmakers and staff.
Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, House appropriations subcommittees are not holding “in-person” or zoom public witness testimony this year.
Demand Progress wanted to ensure that people who have devoted much time and analysis to their testimony be heard. This video features a dozen presenters who touch on a wide range of issues that otherwise would have testified to Congressional appropriators in person. Each presenter had 5 minutes to discuss their request.
Presenters included:
Eli Lehrer, president of the R Street Institute
Ginger McCall, legal director for Demand Progress
Nan Swift, resident fellow of the R Street Institute
Brian Baird, former Member of Congress
Daniel Schuman, policy director for Demand Progress
Jamie Neikrie, coordinator for Issue One
Amelia Strauss, policy advisor for Demand Progress
Bradley Moss, deputy executive director of National Security Counselors
Irvin McCullough, national security analyst for the Government Accountability Project
Michael Stern, founder of Point of Order
Andrew Lautz, director of federal policy for National Taxpayers Union
Kel McClanahan, executive director of National Security Counselors
