The Election Landscape Reflections and Projections: 2022 & 2024 Political Cycles
Friday, March 3, 2023
9:15 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.
Emerson Hall, Room 209
As the 2024 campaign cycle nears, we will examine last year’s midterm elections for hints of what’s to come. Our panelists are experts in politics at the state and federal levels. The morning panel will focus on the 2022 federal midterm and gubernatorial elections, while the afternoon panel will look toward 2024. The discussion will span voter turnout, polling, the impacts of women and African American voters on election results, and more.
The event is open to UF Faculty, students, and staff, and there will be ample time for audience Q & A and for students to network with the panelists.
