November Monthly Lunch with Prof. Richard Murray, PhD, Bob Lanier Chair in Urban Public Policy, and Director of Survey Research Institute, University of Houston 

Richard Murray, longtime professor @ UH and leading commentator on national and local politics, will speak on What impact will the now likely US House impeachment and following Senate trial have on the 2020 election?
 
He will also comment on the impact of possible outcomes resulting from the Trump case.
 
Murray has spoken to us several times over the years, and he’s proven to be always interesting, usually somewhat controversial, and probably more often right than wrong when pushed to opine on election outcomes.
