2020 Election Preview: What Will Drive Results throughout North Carolina?

This November, North Carolina voters will go to the polls to elect a President, Governor, U.S. Senator, 13 U.S. Representatives, and more than 150 members of the N.C. General Assembly.

What do you need to know in order to make informed decisions at the ballot box?
 
Hear directly from David McLennan, Meredith College political science professor and political analyst, on topics including:

  • What are the issues that will determine results both on a national and statewide level?
  • Who is leading in the key races and what could change the results before Election Day?
  • How will recent population trends, particularly in areas like Wake County, affect voter turnout?
  • Who is leading in the polls and what could change the results before Election Day?
  • Where can young professionals go to find unbiased, helpful information when researching candidates?


This program also will include a discussion with Raleigh Mayor Mary-Ann Baldwin on the city’s proposed affordable housing bond, which will appear on the ballot this November. How much will it cost? Where will the money go? Mayor Baldwin will address these issues and take questions from YPN attendees.

At the conclusion of this program, members will have the opportunity to network.
