Hunt featured on CNBC for his research on aging politicians

Charles Hunt

CNBC interviewed Charles Hunt, an assistant professor in political science, during a segment about aging U.S. politicians. The segment referenced Hunt's data that he collected and published in "The Conversation" and is part of a mini-documentary series.

When asked about the preferences on politicians' ages from the perspective of political parties, Hunt is quoted in the article saying, "It doesn't have to be generational warfare or anything like that. But it does really, really matter for representation in terms of the quality of the legislation that's going to be coming out of Congress."
