Jordan Blashek and Christopher Haugh
Union: A Democrat, a Republican, and a Search for Common Ground
Hot on the heels of the US election, Jordan and Chris will be sharing their insights on what we can do to help bridge the divide between Democrats and Republicans.
Christopher is a writer from Berkeley, California. After graduating from UC-Berkeley, Chris started speechwriting as an intern in the Obama White House. He went on to join the US Department of State’s Policy Planning Staff where he served as a speechwriter to the Secretary. In 2018, Chris graduated from Yale Law School where he was a Yale Journalism Scholar. Chris is based in the San Francisco Bay Area and New York.
"Chris and Jordan's odyssey across America is rich with lessons for us all. Giving hope to those who want to believe 'there's more to America than gladiatorial politics, ' -that a collective and singular identity exists among Americans - this account provides a foundation for national purpose absent the scorching rhetoric of our time."
