Midterm Election Wrap-Up

With political tensions running high in this country, the 2010 midterm elections mark a key moment of political transition—Republicans won a majority in the House, but Democrats held on to their majority in Senate, and Coro alum Michael Bennet (Fellows 1988) won his very tight Senate race to be re-elected to his seat in Colorado.

 

How will the results of these elections affect our communities, our state, and our country? What changes will we see over the next two years? What larger trends in our political landscape does this year's shift in power reflect?

 

Join us November 18th at 6:30 pm for a discussion of the elections hosted by Global Strategy Group, featuring speakers Jeff Plaut (Fellows 1988), Founding Partner at Global Strategy Group, and Mike McKeon, Partner at Mercury Communications. This is sure to be a lively discussion, with input from Democrats and Republicans and Coro participants past and present. A reception will immediately follow the program.
