LISTEN: Town Talk/Dr. Stephen Farnsworth

The University of Mary Washington’s Dr. Stephen Farnsworth joins us to break down the latest developments in Virginia politics, including the ongoing redistricting debate and what it could mean for future elections. We also examine Governor Youngkin’s political legacy and the challenges and opportunities facing Governor-elect Spanberger as she prepares to take office. Dr. Farnsworth discusses the growing absence of compromise in modern politics.  And we wrap up with a look at the power of political humor—how it shapes public perception and influences voters. Dr. Farnsworth is Professor of Political Science and International Affairs and Director of UMW’s Center for Leadership and Media Studies.
