Montpelier comes to Middlebury: a Panel Discussion with Senator Ruth Hardy and Women in Vermont Politics

Join Visiting Lecturer and Senator Ruth Hardy and students in her Women in U.S. Electoral Politics class for a panel discussion with women in Vermont politics, including Speaker Jill Krowinski, Senate Pro Tempore Becca Balint, Lieutenant Governor Molly Gray, and several more women in state and local elected office. Panelists will discuss the barriers and opportunities they’ve faced as women in politics, how they approach campaigning and public service, and their priorities as we move into a new legislative session and election year.
