FSU to host Wall Street Journal columnist for discussion on American politics, economic policy

The Institute for Governance & Civics at Florida State University will welcome Kimberley A. Strassel, a member of the Wall Street Journal editorial board, for a discussion on the future of American politics and economic policy Wednesday, Oct. 28. 

The event, titled “Beyond the Midterms: The Future of American Politics and Economic Policy,” will take place from 6 to 7 p.m. in Room 2004 of FSU’s William Johnston Building, 143 Honors Way. The event is free and open to the public. 

Strassel writes editorials and the weekly “Potomac Watch” political column for the Wall Street Journal. She produces the “All Things with Kim Strassel” newsletter and hosts its accompanying podcast, offering commentary on politics and public policy. 

Strassel joined Dow Jones & Co. in 1994, working for the Wall Street Journal Europe in Brussels and London. She moved to New York in 1999 and soon joined the newspaper’s editorial page and became a member of its editorial board in 2005. 

A recipient of the 2014 Bradley Prize, Strassel is a regular contributor to CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Fox News Sunday, and NBC’s “Meet the Press.” She is the author of three books: “The Biden Malaise,” “The Intimidation Game” and “Resistance (At All Costs).” She earned her bachelor’s degree from Princeton University. 

Established in 2023, FSU’s Institute for Governance & Civics advances the principles of liberty through education, research and discourse on constitutional government, economic liberty and related issues. The institute hosts speakers and events designed to encourage discussion of public policy and civic life. 

Doors open at 5 p.m., and the program begins at 6 p.m. Registration is encouraged, but it does not guarantee a seat. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis, and walk-ins are welcome as space allows.
