The 2022 Midterms: What Happened—and What Now?

Description

The November midterm elections may prove to be another key juncture in modern American democracy, both in Congress, where political majorities may shift, and in state houses, where the divisive national discourse is trickling down to local elections. To help Johns Hopkins students understand and interpret election outcomes—and to think about what's next for their civic engagement—the SNF Agora Institute is hosting "The 2022 Mid-Terms: What Happened—and What Now?"

The Johns Hopkins community is invited to join Chris Stirewalt, American Enterprise Institute senior fellow and former Fox News political editor; Sen. Barbara Mikulski (ret.), known as a tenacious advocate during her 40-year career in Congress; and Stephanie Young, executive director of Michelle Obama's When We All Vote, for a conversation about election outcomes (or lack thereof), what they mean for candidates and institutions, and what you can do between elections to keep fighting for the causes you care about.

Panelists will offer brief remarks with their analysis and insights, then the balance of time will be devoted to answering your questions. Louise Flavahan, SNF Agora's dialogue and debate director, moderates the discussion.
