Event Details:

American politics are divisive. When only 2% of Senators today are registered as Independent, it’s no surprise that unbiased and objective voices are incredibly rare. Everything from speeches to bills is viewed with a critical lens of partisanship. Political dark horses like Senator Angus King and Senator Bernie Sanders are trying to stop that. Join us at 5:00 PM in Anna Head Alumnae Hall on Friday, May 6th as we host Maine Senator Angus King.

Senator King joins a long line of independent leaders from the State of Maine. He graduated from Dartmouth College in 1966 and from University of Virginia Law School in 1969. He began his career as a staff attorney for Pine Tree Legal Assistance in Skowhegan. In 1994, Senator King was elected Maine's 72nd Governor. During his two terms in the Blaine House, he focused on economic development and job creation, and also achieved significant reforms in education, mental health services, land conservation, environmental protection, and the delivery of state services. He was re-elected in 1998 by one of the largest margins in Maine’s history.
