Details: For the first time in history, two former officers of the Central Intelligence Agency are serving in Congress together. Join us at the Michael V. Hayden Center for Intelligence, Policy, and International Security as we host a conversation with Reps. Abigail Spanberger and Elissa Slotkin and learn what drove them to public service, from the cubicles of CIA to the hallowed halls of the U.S. Capitol.
Representative Abigail Spanberger, who serves Virginia’s 7th district, was a CIA operations officer from 2006 to 2014, gathering intelligence on nuclear proliferation and terrorism. Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin, who represents Michigan’s 8th district, joined CIA shortly after 9/11, serving as an analyst whose work included three tours in Iraq. Slotkin went on to serve on the National Security Council staff and as acting assistant secretary of defense for international security affairs from 2015 to 2017. Hear what issues they believe are of paramount concern to Americans both internationally and domestically. And find out what they think of the Intelligence Community and its performance against today’s threats. Moderating the discussion will be Hayden Center senior fellow David Priess, publisher and chief operating officer of Lawfare, the online and podcast source of national security information and insight.
