Speaker: 
  • Mirya Holman

What’s at stake in this year’s midterm elections? After months of contentious primary races, the 2018 midterms will determine which party controls Congress this January. Join us for a panel discussion featuring Bruce Cain, Director of the Bill Lane Center for the American West at Stanford University, and Mirya Holman, Associate Professor of Political Science at Tulane University. We will discuss the important campaign issues, the diversity of candidates running, and the role gender issues are playing across the House and Senate races.
