John Gans is an engaging, thoughtful, and candid speaker who explains politics—within Washington, in the United States, and around the world—in ways everyone can understand.
With a style honed in the lecture halls of some of the world’s finest universities, hard-earned experiences in government, in uniform, and on the campaign trail, Gans draws upon a breadth of historical knowledge to put today’s headlines in perspective and leverages a conversational, compelling style that points the way forward to a better tomorrow.
