RSS President Lisa Pruitt consulted for article in the Guardian
Lisa Pruitt, current RSS president and Brigitte Bodenheimer Research Scholar and Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of California, Davis, was recently consulted for and quoted in an article in the Guardian. Titled “The powerful Democrat trying to win over California’s rural voters,” the piece discusses the campaign of Mike McGuire, who has recently gained popularity for visiting rural areas and proposing rural-focused policies. However, some analysts believe he will not win his special election, including Pruitt, who was asked about the campaign in the context of her expertise in rural law. She noted that while the candidate seems to understand rural issues, he is from a major population center, which may turn away rural voters.
