Pritzker Fellow Gerardo Bonilla Chavez on "A Trifecta Governing Moment"

(Current UChicago Students Only)

Thursday, February 15

12:30-1:45 PM 

With the election of President Biden in 2020 and several swing Senate races called for Democrats, the incoming President and his party came into the 117th Congress controlling Washington. Seminar three will dive deeply into each session of the trifecta, specifically the internal power dynamics, how progressives prepared and governed in this moment and what lessons we learned for the future. The seminar will also dive deep into how the sea of socio-political-economic dynamics happening in America shaped the demands sought of the incoming trifecta. How did the center of progressive policies and values shift on the Hill, and what headwinds/barriers did we face during this time? Were expectations set appropriately, or did we overreach? 

Special Guest (via Zoom): Michael Darner, Executive Director, Congressional Progressive Caucus
