Author and activist Andy Schmookler is hosting an American politics Q & A session at 7 p.m. on Wednesday in the Music Room at the Simms Center 620 Simms Ave in Harrisonburg.
Schmookler has been investigating America’s increasingly troubling political dynamics for more than a decade. He was the Democratic nominee for Congress here in the Sixth District in 2012. His opinion pieces appear regularly in newspapers across the District, including Augusta Free Press.
Schmookler will say a few words and then take questions from the audience on the following topics:
- the 2016 presidential race
- the state of American politics generally
- ideas presented in his newly-published book, “What We’re Up Against”
The event is free and open to the public.
