Today, the Progressive Policy Institute (PPI) announced that Mitchell Taylor has been hired as a Congressional Policy Fellow to support the Blue Dog Coalition. Taylor will be placed in the office of Congresswoman Mary Peltola (AK-AL), the recently named Blue Dog Coalition Co-Chair for Policy and Legislative Strategy, and will provide critical policy, communications, and administrative support for the 10-member coalition.
The Blue Dog Coalition is led by Congressman Jared Golden (ME-02), Co-Chair for Administration, and Congresswoman Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA-03), Co-Chair for Communications and Outreach, in addition to Congresswoman Peltola. Together, these Democrats represent the three most GOP-leaning districts in the House Democratic caucus.
“I am excited to join the Blue Dog team and look forward to helping its members advance common sense policy solutions,” said Mitchell Taylor. “After starting my career working in the Senate, this PPI fellowship opportunity will allow me to take on an expanded policy portfolio in the House and provide support to this exciting group of members who are committed to breaking gridlock and getting things done.”
Prior to joining the Blue Dog Coalition as a PPI Congressional Policy Fellow, Taylor worked in the office of U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R‑KS). Taylor is also a member of the DC New Liberals, a local chapter of the Center for New Liberalism, a grassroots organization fighting for center-left, pragmatic policies.
