PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES AND PROMISES OF PROSPERITY
Newt Gingrich and Van Jones Debate
Thursday, September 29, 7:00 p.m.
Ursprung Gymnasium
Lou Higgins Recreation Center
E. Bagley Road, Berea
As voters consider two polarizing major party candidates, what’s at stake, especially for the future of the economy? Newt Gingrich, a conservative former U.S. House Speaker, and Van Jones, progressive activist and CNN political commentator, debate how the major party candidates might lead the nation to economic prosperity. Jones, an environmental and human rights reformer and ex-Obama policy advisor, will argue the case for the Democrat Hillary Clinton, while Gingrich, who ran for president in 2012 and was an early supporter of Republican Donald Trump, will champion the GOP standard-bearer. The BW School of Business Leadership Lecture Series event will be moderated by political science professor and media analyst Tom Sutton, Ph.D.
