Unsticking Congress: Stuck with Dr. Maya Kornberg

American politics feels like it is increasingly polarized with no end in sight - how exactly did we get here, and is there a way out? Joining me this week is Dr. Maya Kornberg, author of *Stuck: How Money, Media, and Violence Prevent Change in Congress*. In this episode we explore the history, challenges, and reforms of Congress of the past 50 years and what lessons we can learn from prior freshman classes in pushing future changes. Our conversation also covers the rise in political violence, the influence of campaign finance, and the of civic engagement.  Learn more about Dr. Kornberg's work by visiting her website: mayakornberg.com Check out the Brennan Center for Justice website here.  And be sure to grab your copy of Stuck via my bookshop storefront.  Support the show
