On October 22, the University of Georgia School of Public and International Affairs hosted Senator Chris Coons (D-Delaware) and Senator Thom Tillis (R-North Carolina) for the third annual Johnny Isakson Symposium on Political Civility, an event that celebrates the late senator’s legendary qualities of decency, statesmanship, and dedication to common sense problem-solving in the public interest.
The symposium, which was held in Washington, D.C., was moderated by Clyde McGrady, New York Times national correspondent, and featured remarks by both senators on the topics of political civility and bipartisanship in the U.S. Senate.
