“Al From is the principal architect for the Clinton presidency and the new Democrat movement, which helped shape the 21st century Democratic Party,” said Dole Institute Director Bill Lacy. “Most of the Dole Lectures have been by or about public figures; this is the first that will honor a person working behind the scenes to change American politics in a major way.”
Al From described his involvement in the effective restoration of the Democratic Party.
From also discussed current U.S. politics, the state of both parties and his book, “The New Democrats and the Return to Power.” This key, behind-the-scenes strategist helped shift domestic political power.
