Before Bill Clinton burst on to the national scene, Arkansas had a triumvirate of leaders in Washington who were revered and feared.  One of those was Congressman Wilbur D. Mills.

The Clinton School of Public Service is hosting author Kay Goss will discuss to discuss her book on Mills.  Mr. Chairman: The Life and Legacy of Wilbur D. Mills chronicles the life and career of the longest continuously serving chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Democrat Wilbur D. Mills of Arkansas.

Mills served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1939 to 1977 and is noted for his role as the “architect” of many policies including Medicare, tax reform, interstate highways and Social Security. Goss is a former associate FEMA director under President Clinton. On the state level, she served 10 years as then-Governor Clinton’s senior assistant for intergovernmental relations.

Goss is speaking this evening from 6pm to 7pm at Sturgis Hall, on the Clinton School campus.  Reserve your seats by emailing publicprograms@clintonschool.uasys.edu, or calling 501-683-5239.
