The class will provide a comprehensive survey of practical governance and politics at the local and state levels. Participants will take a deep dive into both election and initiative campaigns. For those who have a desire to work in government, either as an elected official or for an elected official, or to shape public policy, or to serve as legal counsel or simply to have more knowledge about how state and local government systems work, this course will provide best practices. This course will meet one day a week for two-and-a-half-hours. The first part of each course day will bring an expert with knowledge of the topic of the day and the second part of the daily course will cover readings pertinent to that day's topic and further discussion with regard to how the readings apply to the practical facts that have been learned.
