My Partisan Purgatory and the Voiceless Electorate that Could Save Democracy
Join us for a discussion with Roy and Lila Ash Fellow Beth Fukumoto. Named one of Washington Post "The Fix's 40 under 40" rising political stars and Business Insider’s “8 of the most influential millennial women in US politics,” Beth was the first elected Republican to leave the Republican Party following the election of Donald Trump. Once the youngest, female Republican leader in the United States, Beth most recently served as the Executive Director of the Democratic Party of Hawaii. In 2018, her story landed her on Apolitical’s list of the “World’s 100 Most Influential Young People in Government.”
Lunch served.
