Representative Jennifer Mandelbaum selected for national bipartisan Innovation Fellowship

New Hampshire state legislator Rep. Jennifer Mandelbaum (D-Rockingham 21) has been selected to join the 2025-26 cohort of Future Caucus Innovation Fellows. This two-year fellowship brings together 64 emerging leaders from 34 states who are committed to bridging political divides and tackling the most pressing issues in their communities.

The Future Caucus Innovation Fellowship provides fellows with the tools, expertise, and networks to shape policy solutions on critical topics. Participants select from four policy tracks: Civic Innovation, Energy & Environment, Prenatal-to-Three, and Criminal Justice. Mandelbaum will focus on the Prenatal-to-Thre track.

The fellowship includes access to briefings with policy experts, a comprehensive library of evidence-based research, and networking opportunities with fellow lawmakers tackling similar issues across the country. Fellows will also gain firsthand insights during experiential learning trips to organizations working on the ground in their chosen policy areas.

The program culminates in attendance at Future Caucus’ annual Futures Thinking Forum and Rising Star Awards, held this year in Washington, D.C., where fellows will have the chance to further expand their influence and leadership in state and national policymaking.
