New Politics Forum
June 4th-6th
Austin, TX
The Junior Fellows led another trip to Austin, Texas to participate in the New Politics Forum. This is the
sixth year the students have participated in this Forum. The conference was billed as a three-day
campaign bootcamp. The students heard more than a dozen presentation on campaigning and, in fact,
created and presented their own campaign plans. During their spare time, they also visited
tourists sites, historic homes, and government offices.
The students visited numerous historic homes in and around the Austin area.
