A Conversation with Sen. Chris Murphy (Conn.) and Governor and Former DNC Chair Howard Dean
Moderated by Williams College Professor Jim Mahon and Ali Benjamin, Author and Activist
An insiders’ scoop on the Senate: who’s running, why it matters—and what we can do to turn Washington Blue in November.
A close neighbor from Vermont, Howard Dean served as that state’s Governor (1991-2003) as well as Chair of the Democratic National Committee (2005-2009). He is no stranger to the way we’ve built our community connections—as the pioneer of grassroots organizing and internet-based fundraising in the 2004 presidential election. Dean is credited for creating the 50 State Strategy that was successful in the 2006 midterm election and adopted by Barack Obama in 2008.
Also no stranger to the Berkshires, Senator Chris Murphy is a Williams College alum currently serving as Connecticut’s junior Senator since 2013. You’ll recognize Chris as the Senator who stepped up after the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook in 2012 to become one of the leading proponents of commonsense gun reform, championing a number of bipartisan bills aimed at expanding background checks and keeping guns out of the hands of criminals.
We’re thrilled to welcome them both.
