#110 Erik Rankin | Professor of Politics & Government at Illinois State University

The Paul Garcia Show

Erik Rankin is an author, a professor at ISU, a father, a husband, a former local politician, and a brilliant political mind. In this episode, we discuss a range of hot political topics, from gun rights and abortion to gerrymandering in Illinois and term limits. You'll find this episode captivating and enlightening, and perhaps you'll even crack a smile or laugh. And although Erik is a staunch democrat, his views can seem conservative, and to him, that's quite alright.
Here's a little more bit about Erik.
Education: Originally from Normal, IL, Erik is a Normal Community High School and Illinois State University Grad, where he earned a MS in Political Science and a BA in Human Geography, he also went to George Washington Univerity where he earned his MS in Campaign Political Management. Erik's extensive education and superb public speaking skills are just a couple of the reasons why he boasts a 99%+ rating on "Rate my Professor" - a public website where students honesty (and often viciously) rate their experience in a professors class.
Political Experience: Erik was elected Chair of the McLean County Democratic Party (2018-2020) and elected to the McLean County Board (2008-2018). He is also the Director of Enrollment Management and Undergraduate Studies for the Department of Politics & Government at ISU.
