On April 22, Rose Institute RA Deborah Aguirre ’28 attended the Policy Insights Conference in Sacramento hosted by the California Budget and Policy Center. Deborah networked with a wide range of conference participants, and even bumped into Claremont Mayor Jennifer Stark.
The Olson Company and former Gov. Gray Davis hosted a housing policy discussion with LA County Supervisor Kathryn Barger, co-sponsored by the Rose Institute. Director Ken Miller and student RAs Kevin Bender, Jathan Pai, and Shivum Kalyanum participated in the discussion.
In her new book, Raising the Floor: Federalism and the Politics of U.S. Minimum Wage Policy, Rose Institute Associate Director Shanna Rose examines how interest groups have navigated the American political system shaping the development of minimum wage laws over the past century.
On March 18, the Rose Institute presented its Measure G research to the San Gabriel Valley City Managers’ Association led by Professor Ken Miller and Senior Advisor Abhi Nemani. The project is funded by a generous grant from the John Randolph Haynes and Dora Haynes Foundation.
The Rose Institute thanks this year’s student managers, Chad McElroy ’26 and Joan Hanson ’26, for their excellent work over the past year. Their contributions are greatly appreciated, and they will be missed.
Aria Fafat, a PPE major from Singapore, has conducted research at the Institute on criminal justice, election systems, and immigration. Kevin Bender, an Economics major from Temecula, California, has worked on the Institute's data team, contributing to economic policy research.
Congratulations to our new student managers for the 2026–2027 academic year, Aria Fafat and Kevin Bender!
