Lunch & Learn – The State of Bipartisanship

December 12, 2023 @ 11:30 am - 1:00 duhurnimo

$10

Why are we so divided? Is there anything we can do about it? Greater Mankato Growth is pleased to partner with Shannon Watson of Majority in the Middle for a discussion about the current state of bipartisanship in Minnesota. As political polarization has increasingly become a factor in our communities, schools, civic organizations and businesses, we’re all learning how to navigate divides. Join us to learn about the (sometimes surprising) origins of division and actual steps you can take to bring down the temperature.

Program includes a box lunch. Registration cost: $10

Shannon Watson is the Founder and Executive Director of Majority in the Middle. She has also served in policy and public affairs roles for the Medical Alley Association, St. Paul Area Chamber, U.S. Bank, the Minnesota Senate, and the National Conference of State Legislatures. Shannon has 20+ years of experience in electoral politics, advising candidates and working on campaigns on both sides of the aisle. Shannon holds a bachelor’s degree in English, Theatre, and Psychology from Wichita State University and a master’s degree in Advocacy and Political Leadership from the University of Minnesota-Duluth.

Majority in the Middle is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization giving those in the political middle a place to gather outside the extremes, elevating voices of people who are modeling behavior we want to see, and working on ways to bring a little more civility and a little less partisanship to our politics.
