Alumni Candidates Find Success in Races Across the Country
More than a dozen AU alumni either defended their seat or ran for office in their district or region earlier this November - and won! American University alumni represent their constituents (and their alma mater) from Vermont to Oregon and several states in between. We wish them all the best and hope they continue to make us proud in long, successful careers of public service.
Following is a list of the winners and their Web sites so you can check out the issues they care about most and campaigned for, and mark their progress in their journey.
