What Just Happened? A Guide to the Crazy Election of 2024
Willamette Women Democrats welcome back Dr. Jim Moore, Associate Professor of Political Science at Pacific University, to analyze the choices voters made in the November 5, 2024, election. Results from Congressional Districts 5 and 6 may well decide the US House majority. The winner of the presidency will affect every part of Oregon’s government as well as the personal lives of Oregonians. The run up to the election has been anything but normal political practice. Dr. Moore is a well-known analyst of all things political in Oregon, regularly appearing on radio and television. He is well-known for his civil commentary even in this boisterous and contentious political climate.
Jim Moore, PhD, teaches a variety of international classes in political science and history as well as specializing in local and state politics and political parties. He has helped place interns with political campaigns, government officials, and businesses all over the Pacific Northwest. In addition to teaching, Jim Moore serves as Director of Political Outreach for the Tom McCall Center for Civic Engagement. He holds degrees from Stanford University, the Monterey Institute of International Studies, and Northwestern University. The program will be held at the Home Builder’s Association Conference Center at 15555 Bangy Road #100 in Lake Oswego. Members and guests are asked to reserve by Monday, Nov. 11 at www.w2dems.com or call 503-957-1576 (CM Bookkeeping). The cost for members is $15 and the cost for guests is $20.
