Pritzker Fellow Steve Sisolak on "The Road to Governor: My History in Public Service"

(Current UChicago Students Only)

Monday, February 6

3:30-4:45 PM

In this seminar we’ll discuss why (and how) I entered politics after a successful career in business, and my-20 year journey to the Governor’s mansion. After an unsuccessful bid for Senate in 1996, I was elected to the Nevada State Board of Regents in 1998, the governing body for higher education in the State, from there I went to the Clark County Commission, home county of Las Vegas - charged with managing the most populous and diverse country in the state. I was well prepared to take the reins when elected the first Democratic Governor in 20 years in 2018 with a set of priorities that quickly shifted as the COVID pandemic came and I governed through crisis.

Pritzker Fellows seminars are off the record and open to current UChicago students only. Seating in the IOP Living Room is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
