From one Capitol to another! 💡 Our Congressional Fellows explored the Richmond State House, gaining insights from Delegate Pugh Kent, Senator VanValkenburg, Cal Whitehead, Dr. Lauren Bell (CFP '97-'98), & Elizabeth Beyer (CFP '22-'23). Grateful for the opportunity to learn from the best! #APSACFP

It explores what shapes Black voters’ candidate choices beyond race, highlighting how signals of group commitment matter most. Can’t wait to dive in. Congrats, Prof. Wamble!

Thrilled to share this article, with Austin Bussing, on race, democracy, and the creation of four new seats in Congress in the 1970s. The story conveys an enduring political inequality for residents of Washington D.C. and the U.S. territories. www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...
