WASHINGTON — Today, the Progressive Policy Institute (PPI) announced that Kevin Becker has been hired as a Congressional Policy Fellow to support the work of the Blue Dog Coalition. Becker will be placed within the office of U.S. Representative Mary Peltola (D-Alaska), Blue Dog Coalition Co-Chair for Policy and Legislative Strategy, and will provide critical policy, communications, and administrative support.
“I am looking forward to working with the Blue Dog Coalition to promote common-sense solutions and provide tangible results for the American people,” said Kevin Becker. “My prior time in Representative Mary Peltola’s office provided me with an admiration for a progress-centered approach to public policy and I am eager to work with the coalition to promote those ideals nationwide.”
