Former Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D)<\/b> California’s 46th Congressional District
\nFormer Rep. Fred Upton (R)<\/b> Michigan’s 6th Congressional District<\/p>\n

Join us at Connecticut’s Old State House for an insightful conversation with former U.S. Representatives Loretta Sanchez (D) <\/b>from California’s 46th Congressional District, and Fred Upton (R)<\/b> from Michigan’s 6th Congressional District, as they explore how to find common ground across party lines in this contentious election year. With their extensive experience in policy making, Sanchez and Upton will share their perspectives on overcoming political polarization, fostering constructive dialogue, and working together for the common good.<\/p>\n

This conversation will provide valuable insights into how lawmakers and voters can bridge divides and collaborate effectively amidst a highly charged political climate. The panel will be followed by timed round table discussions with the audience where all can participate and share their experience in finding common ground. Light refreshments will be served. This program is done in partnership with The Dodd Center for Human Rights at UConn,\u00a0the Hartford Votes\/Vota Coalition, and the CT League of Women Voters, .
