WFEA Roundtable: Lost Civility in Our Political Discourse
WFEA Roundtable: Lost Civility in Our Political Discourse

We are joined in the studio by panelists Dr. Nathan Shreder, Communication expert JP Marzullo, and Congressional Candidate Walter McFarlane, and by phone, current NH House Representative Jessica Grill.

During this month’s roundtable, we discussed the rise in aggressive (and, at times, violent) political rhetoric and the decline in civility in the public arena. We discuss the root causes and what is missing in our political discourse. We close out the roundtable discussing policy discussion for 2026.
