Top Ten: Madison's most influential figures- Number 6: Ken Goldstein

As a national leader for political research and one of UW-Madison's most prominent political science professors, Ken Goldstein warrants recognition among the city of Madison's most influential figures. Goldstein is a well-respected and liked professor throughout the campus community, not only for his spicy one-liners but also for his extensive background in politics. 

Goldstein's career has gained political stride as a correspondent to ABC's political unit and as a consultant for CBS and CNN—making his non-partisan opinion a valuable asset to UW-Madison. His work in political advertising and campaign finance research make him a credible expert who UW-Madison is lucky to have. Goldstein's prominence is highlighted through his participation on the University of Wisconsin Advertising Project team along with his Big Ten Network show ""Office Hours."" 

Despite his national recognition, Goldstein continues to connect with students through his strong teaching style, while capturing the interest of students by relaying his knowledge. Goldstein weaves in jokes and never fails to lay the smack down on students dozing off in class. But through it all, his accomplishments and continued research grant him the respect he deserves throughout campus and the political community as a whole.
