The Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy, FCG Consulting, Virginia Policy Review, and the Jefferson Literary and Debating Society hosted a conversation with former Congressmen Tom Davis (R-VA) and Martin Frost (D-TX) on the nature of partisan politics in modern elections in early November. They discussed the recent Virginia elections, the 2016 cycle, their book, “The Partisan Divide,” and more.
