2026 will be a significant election year for the U.S. Congress. To get more scientists involved in elections work, AGU is offering an overview of what it’s like for scientists to engage with candidates in an election year. AGU staff and our partners will discuss what’s at stake in this upcoming election, ways scientists can get involved in election efforts, and how to convert your plans into actions. Participants will leave this session with a better understanding of the political landscape and an action plan for getting involved.
