Study Group with Rohini Kosoglu: Capitol Hill to the Campaign Trail
Description
Date: Tuesday, February 25 from 4:30-5:45: PM
Location: Institute of Politics (L-166)
Topic: Policy: Capitol Hill vs. Campaign Trail
Description: What is the policy development process? How does one develop a policy platform for a candidate? Economy, health care, environment, etc. Should you focus on proposals that are pragmatic or ones that are sweeping? How does an issue from Capitol Hill make its way to be the center of the campaign trail? We will look at all of these questions and do a case study looking at health care focusing on the Affordable Care Act to the current debate over a Public Option vs. Medicare for All.
IOP Resident Fellow Rohini Kosoglu is a senior advisor to U.S. Senator Kamala D. Harris, having most recently served as Chief of Staff to her presidential campaign, Kamala Harris for the People.
