Another Chapter

As all of us recently graduated from college together, each person posting on this blog is experiencing a new chapter in our lives; so, too, is the new presidential administration attempting to shift the direction of American policy at home and abroad. Bringing together five of the political leaders from our graduating class, with five very different perspectives, will certainly be interesting!

My name is Madeline Shepherd, and I hail from a small town north of New York City. Not surprisingly, I'm on the left side of the political spectrum. I'm an ardent believer in big government and welfare programs, the preservation of civil rights and liberties, and protecting minority groups from suffering at the hands of majority opinion. Whether I'll end up working in academia, the justice system, or on capital hill is open-ended. Right now I'm just excited to still be able to discuss politics with the same people I've been hashing it out with for the past 4 years! My posts will be up every Thursday morning, and I look forward to the conversations that will no doubt follow.
