The Paul B Henry Institute for the Study of Christianity and Politics at Calvin
College will host Republican National Committee Senior Adviser Matthew Dowd on
Wednesday, October 23 for a 3:30 pm talk on the upcoming mid-term elections.
That talk is free and open to all and will be held in the Commons Lecture Hall
on campus.
In 2000, Dowd was Director of Polling and Media Planning for the Bush for
President campaign. In December 2001 Dowd was named to the Bush transition team
by former Montana Governor Marc Racicot, the chairman of the Republican National
Committee. That team's mandate was to help Racicot focus on three key
priorities, one of which was the 2002 elections (the others were bringing new
faces and voices into the Republican Party and communicating the Party's
message). He now gives strategic and polling advice to the White House.
Dowd is a Detroit native and graduate of Bloomfield Hills Lahser High. Both
his father and grandfather were born in Grand Rapids. He also has roots in
Muskegon, where family patriarch Patrick Dowd settled in the mid 1800s (after
immigrating to the U.S. from Ireland).
