Unidentified Economics Professor (Newseum crowd, Bartlet relative)

A credentialed academic voice who steps into public fora and anchors arguments with professional authority and personal history. The professor speaks plainly about economic matters while invoking a direct ancestral link to Dr. Josiah Bartlet, folding scholarly expertise into a civic claim on national memory. Public-facing and rhetorically confident, the professor functions as a bridge between technical economic judgment and invested family legacy, influencing how audiences and officials read the moral and fiscal stakes of contemporary debate without holding formal political office.
