Former Sen. Roy Blunt and former Rep. Rodney Davis are part of a class of nine politicians, policymakers, diplomats and journalists named Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics fellows for the fall 2023 semester, the institute announced Wednesday.
Blunt, a Republican from Missouri, will be a visiting fellow. Davis, a Republican from Illinois, will be a resident fellow. Blunt retired rather than run for reelection last year, while Davis was defeated in a June 2022 primary after redistricting.
The institute was established in 1966 and encourages student interest in public service by engaging students with academics, politicians, activists and policymakers, according to a statement.
