Institute of Politics

Join IOP Practitioner in Residence Greg Hart (Booth ‘21), Village President of Hinsdale in the Chicago suburbs, for a discussion on what it takes to run for local office. Greg will share his personal experiences and discuss factors like credibility, coalitions, and fundraising that influence candidate viability. Students will participate in a simulation as campaign strategists, navigating real-world challenges in decision-making. The session will also focus on sharing insights on how these dynamics affect governance and the transition to executive leadership. RSVP
