Charlie Cook

In the final days of the 2017 Spring semester, the Reilly Center welcomed Charlie Cook as our final guest speaker for the year. Cook is respected as one of the nation's leading authorities on politics and elections in the United States. 

During his visit to campus, Cook discussed the unprecedented nature of the 2016 presidential elections and how this election cycle saw the political rulebook thrown out. He offered thoughts on what happens next for politics and elections in the U.S. 

Cook shares his extensive expertise through a variety of media outlets. He is the editor and publisher of The Cook Political Report, writes twice weekly for NBC's National Journal, and writes for a number of other publications including The Atlantic.
