POLITICAL SCIENTISTS AT UH
ANALYZE UPCOMING ELECTIONS
Will Sen. John Kerry overcome his reputation as a flip-flopper?
Can President George W. Bush convince Americans that the Iraqi conflict
was not the “wrong war at the wrong time?” Which candidate
will succeed in swaying undecided voters on Election Day? Three
University of Houston political science professors will explore
such questions Oct. 26.
Richard Murray, Kent Tedin and Timothy Nokken are the featured
guests for the “UH Political Scientists Analyze the 2004 Elections”
discussion that will include an audience Q&A session.
“We’ll look a number of contests, starting with the
president and Congress,” Murray said. “Locally we’ll
talk about the race for Texas State House District 149 with incumbent
Rep. Talmadge Heflin facing local businessman Hubert Vo, and the
2nd Congressional District with incumbent U.S. Rep. Nick Lampson
going head to head with former Harris County Judge Ted Poe.”
UH’s College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences Alumni Association
(CLASSAA) is sponsoring the event, which is free and open to the
public. RSVP by calling 713-743-0828.
Murray is director of the UH Center for Public Policy, and his
academic interests are in Houston and Texas politics, focusing on
campaigns and elections, political parties and interest groups and
public opinion. Tedin’s areas of expertise are public opinion,
survey research methods and statistics. Professor Nokken focuses
on Congress and the relationship between the executive and legislative
branches as it relates to policy implementation.
