ABOUT THIS BLOG

I shall post videos, graphs, news stories, and other material there. We shall use some of this material in class, and you may review the rest at your convenience. You will all receive invitations to post to the blog. (Please let me know if you do not get such an invitation.) I encourage you to use the blog in these ways:
To post questions or comments about the readings before we discuss them in class;
To follow up on class discussions with additional comments or questions.
To post relevant news items or videos.

There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges.

Pitzer alums and Congress!


Kara Eastman PZ '92, who was a social worker before entering the 2018 midterm race, is running for Congress again in 2020, presumably against incumbent Republican Rep. Don Bacon. In 2018, Eastman who ran on a platform that featured medicare-for-all was just two percentage points away from defeating Bacon in a Nebraska congressional district that voted for Trump.

Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (D-Fla.) PZ '93, CGU '96, also ran and won a very close race against incumbent Republican Carlos Curbelo.

Here is an article with more information about 7C alums who ran in the 2018 Congressional midterms.
