Join the Center for Effective Government at the University of Chicago’s Harris School of Public Policy in welcoming Senior Practitioner Fellow Rudy Mehrbani back to campus for a day of student engagement opportunities on Thursday, January 26, 2023, beginning with a Lunch 'n' Learn for University of Chicago students at 12:30pm CT.

Considering recent history, many expect the sitting House majority to focus on stifling and investigating the White House rather than advancing any parts of the president’s agenda. Does this mean legislation focused on strengthening democracy will be sidelined during this Congress? Or can advocates build momentum from the reforms to the Electoral Count Act, which were ultimately adopted with bipartisan support, to continue advancing related efforts? We will explore these questions and other potential avenues for advancing democracy reform in the coming years.

Lunch will be provided, and there will be an opportunity for discussion during the program.
