City Club of Eugene: What Do The Midterm Results Tell Us? Reflections On Elections

Recorded On: November 30, 2018

Air Date: December 3, 2018

On November 7, almost all the votes were counted, and we learned the names of winners and losers. The decisions about whether to adopt new laws were made. What do the patterns of wins and losses tell us about the temper of the community, the state, and the nation? What might we expect under the new and/or continuing leadership? What challenges remain?

In this program, Professor Priscilla Southwell tells us what she thinks about the results.
