Sharat Lin - Sea Change in Mexican Electoral Politics

Dr. Claudia Sheinbaum became Mexico’s first woman and Jewish president, winning by a historic landslide. Her victory strengthens the rise of Morena (Movimiento de Regeneración Nacional) after Andrés Manuel López Obrador's presidency, breaking the longstanding dominance of the PRI and PAN parties. Dr. Sharat G. Lin, who has observed Mexican elections since 2012, will discuss the factors behind this shift, its potential impact, and implications for U.S. policy in Latin America.

Doors open 6 pm. Free event.
