2021 Sidley Austin Forum - Making Progress Amidst Polarization

Address: Amy Klobuchar, United States Senator for Minnesota
Chairwoman, Senate Rules Committee
Chairwoman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Competition Policy, Antitrust and Consumer Rights

The polarized politics of the times raises the core question of whether--and how-- our leaders can overcome partisan conflicts to address major challenges facing the nation. In her years in the Senate, Senator Klobuchar has worked with Democrats and Republicans to pass landmark legislation to end human trafficking and confront the opioid epidemic. She has also been a proven leader on bipartisan consumer rights legislation and initiatives. In her address, the Senator will speak to the requirements of making progress in an era of polarization, and an expert panel will follow to discuss the prospects for this progress in the current Congress.
