Lamont, Rell To Host Forum On Political Civility At UHart

WEST HARTFORD/HARTFORD, CT — In these highly divisive political times, is it possible for Democrats and Republicans to agree to disagree and still work together?

While that seems nearly impossible in the nation's capital, Connecticut's capitol area is hosting a special forum on the topic tonight with the current Democratic governor and the last Republican to hold the office.

Democratic Governor Ned Lamont will join former Republican Governor M. Jodi Rell at an event in West Hartford co-hosted by Connecticut Public and the University of Hartford, which is located in West Hartford, Hartford and Bloomfield.

Moderated by Lucy Nalpathanchil of Connecticut Public, the event will feature a conversation between the two bipartisan Connecticut governors about incivility, the role of policymakers in civil discourse and how all residents can learn to bridge divides despite political affiliations.

The event is at 7 p.m. at the University of Hartford's Millard Auditorium, 200 Bloomfield Ave., West Hartford
