      Detroit, MI - [December 16, 2025] - The Levin Center for Oversight and Democracy at Wayne
      State University Law School is proud to announce the appointment of Zack Schram as its new
      Congressional Oversight Fellow. Schram brings to the Center deep institutional knowledge and
      decades of oversight experience on Capitol Hill.

      As Chief Counsel to the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental
      Affairs, Schram oversaw some of the Senate’s most consequential oversight efforts. Before that,
      he served nearly nine years as Senior Counsel to the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on
      Investigations under former Chairman; and Levin Center founder; Carl Levin, helping to
      spearhead bipartisan investigations into critical issues including abusive lending practices,
      money laundering, financial-system breakdowns, and counterterrorism intelligence failures.

      “Zack Schram is among the leading congressional oversight practitioners and experts in
      Washington,” said Levin Center director Jim Townsend, “and we are thrilled to be able to bring
      him into this role where he will help to strengthen the practice of evidence-driven inquiry on
      Capitol Hill and defend key oversight institutions that are under increasing threat.”

      At the Levin Center, Schram will join our work on the biannual Congressional Oversight Boot
      Camps – intensive training sessions designed to equip congressional staff with the tools and
      skills needed to run rigorous, fact-driven oversight. In addition, he will advise the Center’s legal
      and policy research agenda and support its ongoing efforts to promote transparency,
      accountability, and legislative oversight.
      "Senator Levin's legacy is as relevant and important now as it has ever been,” said Schram. “I am
      honored to have this opportunity to support the Levin Center's critical work advancing and
      defending the legislative branch's constitutional authority to conduct oversight and
      investigations. As I learned from Senator Levin himself, 'Good government requires good
      oversight.'"

      With Schram on board, the Levin Center significantly expands its capacity to provide expert-
      level, practitioner-focused training and thought leadership aimed at ensuring that government at
      all levels keeps its promises.

                                                    ###

      The Levin Center for Oversight and Democracy was established to carry on the
      legislative oversight legacy and public vision of U.S. Senator Carl Levin, who represented
      Michigan in the U.S. Senate for 36 years, longer than any other Michigan senator. The Levin
      Center is headquartered at Wayne State University Law School in Detroit with an office in
      Washington, D.C.
