Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts: Policy, Politics and Power

How can states function more effectively than the federal government? When and how should a governor intervene in political races? Is there a future in bipartisanship in the states and does that actually matter? So hey, what's it like to work with a unicameral legislature? This UChicago grad will reflect on what it is like to oversee a state at a political, economic and cultural inflection point in our country.

Moderating the discussion will be Jeff Zeleny, chief national affairs correspondent for CNN.
