Keynote Speaker

The event’s keynote speaker is Ron Brownstein, CNN senior political analyst, senior editor for The Atlantic,  and contributing editor for National Journal. Part journalist, part historian, and all shrewd political observer, Ron Brownstein explains the complexities of American politics with lucid precision.

Twice a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, Brownstein was cited for “the clarity, consistency, and quality of his political reporting.” He writes weekly columns for both the Atlantic and CNN.com and also appears regularly in National Journal. A prolific and penetrating columnist, Brownstein is, as the Economist said, “one of America’s best political journalists,” and the Washington Post called him “one of the gold-plated names of political journalism who can still shape big-pictures conventional wisdom” and “who’s doing the job the way it should be done.”
