Ann Marie Buerkle on the Campbell Conversations

Congresswoman Ann Marie Buerkle recently ended her term the way she first ran for the office—standing up for conservative principles. She voted against the fiscal cliff compromise, on the grounds that it did not address the deficit and government over-spending.  But she was defeated last November by Dan Maffei, the man she unseated in 2010.

In this edition of the Campbell Conversations, the now former Congresswoman reflects back on that race and her career in Congress, and speculates about her possible political future.

Announcement: The Campbell Conversations, with host Grant Reeher, can now be heard each Sunday evening at  6 p.m. on WRVO.

Grant Reeher is a Political Science Professor and Senior Research Associate at the Campbell Public Affairs Institute at Syracuse University's Maxwell School of Citizenship. He is also creator, host and program director of “The Campbell Conversations” on WRVO, a weekly regional public affairs program featuring extended in-depth interviews with regional and national writers, politicians, activists, public officials, and business professionals.
