Now that the election is over, Congress swings back into action this week with a "lame duck" session and the 113th Congress, which begins in January, 2013. The sheer scope of issues that impact the arts and culture sector is mind-boggling, from telecommunications and technology, to health care and education, to intellectual property and innovation. Where will leading Senators and Members of Congress be focusing their energy in the coming months and years? How could these issues impact the arts and culture sector? And how can members of the music community play a constructive role in these ongoing debates? We ask a panel of leading Congressional staff members for their unique perspectives.

Laurent Crenshaw Legislative Director for Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA)
Shanna Winters Counsel, House Judiciary Committee
Stefanie Winzeler Staff Director, Congressional Arts Caucus
Michael Nelson Technology Policy Analyst, Bloomberg Government; Adjunct Professor, Internet Studies, CCT Georgetown University (moderator)
