Jason Husser is an assistant professor of political science and the director of the Elon University Poll.

Husser was a consistent media commentator on N.C. politics throughout 2016 as the state became a high-profile battleground in the U.S. presidential election and saw tight races for the U.S. Senate and governor’s mansion. Capital Tonight, a statewide program hosted by Tim Boyum, offers a daily mix of N.C. political news and commentary.
Husser was joined in the segments that aired on Dec. 29 and Dec. 30 by political consultants Larry Shaheen and Dan McCorkle in the discussion led by Boyum that looked back at the year in politics and at the year to come.
