Why it matters
“We are so fortunate to have these national experts return to dissect the results, answer insightful questions and tell us what they mean just one week after the election,” says Dr. Melanie Blumberg, a professor in Cal U’s Department of History, Politics and Society and campus director of the American Democracy Project.
“The decisions made by elected officials affect a broad spectrum of issues, ranging from student loan guarantees to health care coverage.”
