Richard Flanagan, Professor of Political Science at the College of Staten Island, is featured in a recent Staten Island Advance article examining the borough’s evolving political dynamics ahead of upcoming elections. In “Trump, the midterms and Staten Island: Can Dems recreate 2018, or will GOP ride redder borough?,” Flanagan provides expert analysis on voting trends and the shifting partisan landscape, offering insight into whether Democrats can regain past momentum or Republicans will continue to strengthen their foothold locally. His commentary helps contextualize Staten Island’s role within broader national political currents. The article was written by Staten Island Advance reporter Luke Petely.
