Goldberg featured in election coverage

Associate Professor of Politics Megan Goldberg has been featured in several news stories discussing the upcoming election and the issues shaping key races across the state. Her recent media appearances have focused on the growing national interest in Iowa races and what these contests could mean for voters both in Iowa and across the country.

Goldberg recently contributed to reporting on several races and issues, including:

• • “National Democrats target Iowa congressional districts in House flip push with millions in spending”
• • “President Obama plays game of IOWA with U.S. Senate candidate Josh Turek”
• • “Iowa governor’s race puts term limits debate in spotlight”
• • "Iowa left off Democrat early primaries list”
•  
•  During an interview, Goldberg said voters shouldn’t ignore the national attention on Iowa’s races.
•  
• “I think for me, as a voter watching this as a political scientist it tells me that it really just ups the ante that I have a lot of responsibility as a voter in a democracy to know who I am voting for and why I am voting for that candidate because it’s not just me I’m affecting, you’re affecting people across the country,” Goldberg said during an interview.

Since joining Cornell College in the 2019-20 academic year, Goldberg has become a trusted voice for reporters seeking insight on local and national issues and elections. Her interviews help communities understand the importance of being involved in the political process.
