Calvin College January Series 2014 – Remote Live Webcast
An outspoken centrist, Senator Snowe stunned Washington in February 2012 when she announced she would not seek a fourth term and offered a sharp rebuke to the Senate, citing the dispiriting gridlock and polarization. After serving in the legislative branch at the state and federal levels for 40 years, including 18 years in the U.S. Senate, she explained that Washington wasn’t solving the big problems anymore. In her book Fighting for Common Ground she explores the roots of her belief in principled policy-making and bipartisan compromise. A leading moderate with a reputation for crossing the aisle, Senator Snowe proposes solutions for bridging the partisan divide in Washington, most notably through a citizen’s movement to hold elected officials accountable. In 2005, Snowe was named the 54th most powerful woman in the wold by Forbes magazine. In 2006, Time magazine name her one of the top ten U.S. Senators.
