US CTO: We'll be talking to 2016 campaigns

Megan Smith, the chief technology officer of the United States, said that her office will be reaching out to the 2016 presidential campaigns to discuss the work the Administration has done to improve the government’s digital capabilities.

“You know, it’s such good practice to be including these kinds of innovation techniques. It’s not partisan,” she said. “One thing we will do next year is we hope to reach out to every campaign and just make sure that everybody who’s running knows about the work we’re doing so they can think about how they might include it,” she said. “I think that would be a good best practice, and we’ll understand from lawyers how and what’s allowed there -- because we’re new around here.”
