Location
Nine statewide ballot questions are headed to Massachusetts voters this November. If the thought of researching all nine has you wondering where to begin, we can help. Evan Horowitz, Executive Director of the Center for State Policy Analysis at Tufts University, returns to LWVCC to guide us through the questions and what a YES or NO vote would mean. Drawing on cSPA’s nonpartisan research, he will break down the proposals, the arguments on both sides, and their potential impact. Join us for a fast-paced, informative First Friday designed to help you head to the polls knowing what you’re voting on.
This hybrid event is part of LWVCC's monthly First Friday series and free and open to all.
About Evan Horowitz:
Evan Horowitz is the Executive Director of the Center for State Policy Analysis (cSPA) at Tufts University. Evan has led cSPA since its launch in early 2020.
He had been the "Quick Study" columnist for the Boston Globe, using data to tell stories about policy issues affecting Massachusetts and the nation as a whole. He also contributed data-heavy stories for FiveThirtyEight, NBC's Think, and the Washington Post, and briefly served as fill-in host for WBUR's Radio Boston.
Evan has worked at several Massachusetts think tanks, one focused on equitable economic outcomes and another dedicated to improving long-term thinking in capital markets.
In the bygone past, Evan was a professor of English Literature, with stints at Stanford, Harvard, Brandeis, Princeton, and the University of North Texas. He also attended the Cordon Bleu, where he learned a set of French cooking techniques that he now uses to keep his family happy at dinnertime.
