Following a decisive election loss and a hammering of their priorities and basic norms in Washington and beyond, Democrats are on the ropes. What strategies – particularly in focusing locally – have worked for Democrats who have been successful in elections, governing and messaging, and what is the path forward for the party? Featuring former Secretary of Transportation and IOP Pritzker Fellow Pete Buttigieg, Congresswoman Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA), and Justin Bibb, Mayor of Cleveland. Moderated by IOP founding director David Axelrod. If you have any questions about accessibility, please contact iopevents@uchicago.edu.
