Daniel Schuman [2]

Daniel Schuman is a federal transparency expert and advocate[1][2], currently serving as policy director at Demand Progress, a progressive organization, and the creator of EveryCRSReport.com, which makes CRS Reports available to the public.

Policy Advocacy

[edit]

Schuman successfully prodded Congress into publishing information regarding bill text, summaries, and status information in a structured data format[3][4]; releasing Congressional Research Service Reports to the public[5][6][7]; and enacting the federal spending transparency legislation known as the DATA Act[8][9][10]. He also is a expert on strengthening Congress, most notably addressing staff pay and retention issues[11][12][13], improving congressional technology[14][15], and drawing attention to effort to weaken or eliminate the Office of Congressional Ethics on several occasions[16][17][18].

Schuman has also advocated around matters of national security, including Congressional oversight thereof, such as through providing appropriate clearances to staff[19], strengthening oversight of the intelligence community[20][21][22], and addressing surveillance abuses[23][24].

In addition, Schuman has worked on federal lobbying and ethics issues, having served on the American Bar Association's Lobbying Reform Task Force and regularly commenting on Lobby Disclosure Act and Foreign Agents Registration Act issues[25][26].

Career

[edit]

Schuman is policy director of Demand Progress, a progressive grassroots organization with 2.5 million members[27]; co-founder of the bipartisan Congressional Data Coalition, which advocates for Congressional data transparency[28]; director of the Advisory Committee on Transparency, which supports the Congressional Transparency Caucus[29]; and a fellow at Stanford’s CodeX, which explores how technology can improve access to legal information[30]. He is responsible--along with Dr. Joshua Tauberer--for EveryCRSReport.com, which publishes more than 14,000 Congressional Research Service reports online.

Schuman previously served as policy director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics and Washington, an ethics pressure group[31], and as policy counsel for the Sunlight Foundation, a non-partisan transparency group[32]. He also was a legislative attorney for the Congressional Research Service[33]. He graduated cum laude from Emory University School of Law in 2006 and Emory University in 1999 with a double major in political science and philosophy.[34]
