Congressman-Elect Rush Holt to Discuss
"Lessons from the '98 Campaign"PRINCETON, N.J. -- Rush Holt, the former assistant director of the Princeton Physics Laboratory who was recently elected to Congress, will speak on "Lessons from the '98 Campaign" at Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs on Wednesday, December 2, at 4:30 p.m. in Bowl 1, Robertson Hall.
Holt's remarks will include observations about the campaign itself, the increasing importance of suburban districts like New Jersey's 12th, and the process of identifying key issues that voters believe government should address.
In addition to serving as the assistant director of Princeton's Plasma Physics Lab, where he created an award-winning office of science education, Holt has served in the U.S. State Department as acting chief of the nuclear and scientific division within the Office of Strategic Forces Analysis, where his responsibilities included participating in the Geneva arms control talks and directing analysis of space activities, international science, and nuclear weapons proliferation. He has also been a professor of physics at Swarthmore College, an American Physical Society Congressional Science Fellow in the Office of Representative Bob Edgar (D-PA), and a teaching fellow at New York University.
His talk is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.
