Where do voters in Maryland’s 8th Congressional District stand on issues related to energy and the environment? Join us virtually as we reveal new survey data from the University of Maryland’s Program for Public Consultation, followed by an intimate conversation with Rep. Raskin and your neighbors about proposed political reforms and where we can find common ground.

The Citizen Panel Initiative is an event series that brings together Americans and their Members of Congress around common ground policy ideas. This project leverages unique survey data on dozens of policy proposals that have support among conservatives, liberals, and those in between. We then invite people in a state or Congressional district to discuss these policies with their elected representatives in Washington. Our local media partners amplify these common ground conversations far and wide – giving the broader community a chance to engage in constructive problem-solving.

The survey is being conducted by the Program for Public Consultation, and the event is co-sponsored by the nonpartisan, nonprofit organizations Voice of the People and Civic Genius.
