Stephen Farnsworth, professor of political science and director of the University’s Center for Leadership and Media Studies, was in considerable demand as a political analyst during the Medicaid expansion standoff in the Virginia General Assembly and the federal corruption trial of former Governor Bob McDonnell. His commentary on Virginia politics appeared in more than 100 media outlets, including the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Richmond Times-Dispatch, on WAMU, Washington’s national public radio affiliate, and on MSNBC’s program “Now with Alex Wagner.”
