Former U.S. Senator Olympia Snowe On Congressional Inaction

Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy, University of Michigan / Creative Commons

After serving the voters of Maine for 16 years in the U.S. House of Representatives and 18 years years in the U.S. Senate, Republican Senator Olympia Snowe announced that she would not run again. She wrote, “I do not believe that, in the near term, the Senate can correct itself from within.” We talk with her about the Congressional stalemate.

She will be part of the Baltimore Speakers Series presented by Stephenson University tomorrow . Learn more about her book, "Fighting For Common Ground: How We Can Fix The Stalemate In Congress".

Sheilah Kast is the host of On The Record, Monday-Friday, 9:30-10:00 am.
