H1764: Campaigning 101 in Splash Droplet Fall 2018 (Nov. 17, 2018)

My course will explore the intricacies of the 2018 midterm campaigns, from an objective and empirical analysis. I intend to provide insight into campaign atmosphere from experience in a swing state, and analyze strategies for policy memos from both Republican and Democratic politicians. I also hope to provide a contrast between campaigning for a legislative position and and executive position, and seek to explore how presidential candidates leverage their influence through midterm elections.
