Future Forum | Oct, 19 2022 11:30AM - 1:00PM
Join us for lunch and a conversation exploring the recent political shifts in the Rio Grande Valley. Once considered a Democratic stronghold, there have been rumblings of a political shift following the 2020 election. Come hear from experts that have examined the data, talked to the people, and are looking to the future. Is the Rio Grande Valley shifting in politics or is there more to the story?
Join us as we discuss the political shifts, the complex electorate of the region, different factors that may be driving change, and how the mid-term election might play out.
