Thursday, December 3, 2009, 1 - 5 p.m.
The Newseum, 7th floor - 555 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W., Washington DCElections are the seminal event in the life of our democracy. Not only do they set the direction of our republic, but campaigns and elections also shed light on the state of America's political health.

The conference will also feature a special panel with the executive directors of the DCCC, NRCC, DSCC, and the NRSC, who will oversee their parties’ U.S. House and Senate campaigns in 2010.
