Civic engagement is a core value for me. I have always aspired to help the communities I’m from.” Mazaher Kaila, a Maxwell alumna and third-year student at Syracuse University's College of Law, moved with her family from Sudan to Central New York when she was four years old. “I realized that to make meaningful change in society, I needed to understand the systems that power it—government and politics—and that’s insight I would gain by studying political science.”

Bybee, Faricy and Gadarian Discuss CNY Midterm Elections With WAER

WAER
Keith Bybee, professor of political science, Chris Faricy, Hicker Family Professor of Renewing Democratic Community, and Shana Gadarian, Merle Goldberg Fabian Professor of Excellence in Citizenship and Critical Thinking, joined WAER to discuss Central New York's midterm elections.
New York’s newly drawn 22nd Congressional District hosts one of the most competitive races in the upcoming midterm elections. The district includes areas previously represented by moderate Rep. John Katko (in NY-24), who is not running in 2022.
“With new lines being drawn, it injects a lot of uncertainty into the race,” says Faricy, professor of political science. “With Katko not being on the ballot, we have two new candidates who have to introduce themselves to the voters of Central New York.”
