James Carville and Mary Matalin to Speak at Western
The bipartisan
husband-and-wife team of James Carville and Mary Matalin will speak at
Western’s 15th
annual Convocation on Critical Issues at 9:30 a.m. Sept. 30 in Looney
Complex. The Convocation is free and open to the public. The duo will also
speak at a dinner Sept. 29.
“Five weeks before the
presidential election, interest in politics will be very high,” said Dan
Nicoson, vice president for university advancement. “Carville and Matalin
are both prominent political insiders, and they will draw on those
experiences to provide the audience with a lively analysis from both sides
of the aisle.”
Western inaugurated
the Convocation program in
1993 in honor of Dan
Boulware as part of an overall commitment to offer enriching experiences
to students while bringing together the university and community. Past
speakers have included Bill Bradley, Sam Donaldson, Steve Forbes, David
Gergen, Jeane Kirkpatrick, Jerry Linenger, David McCullough, Dr. Joseph
Nye, Colin Powell, Arthur Schlesinger Jr, Daniel Schorr, Patricia
Schroeder, J.C. Watts and Bob Woodward.
“We’re pleased to
bring Carville and Matalin to Western,” said Nicoson. “The Convocation on
Critical Issues was started to bring nationally prominent speakers to the
region, and their presentation will certainly continue that tradition.”
For more information
about the Convocation, call 5646.
Matalin and Carville
have been key players on the national stage for more than two decades.
Between them, they’ve worked for every president of the last 25 years.
They co-wrote the national best seller, “All’s Fair: Love, War, and
Running for President” in 1994, shortly after their marriage and two years
after they were strategists for rival presidential campaigns: Carville as
campaign manager for Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton and Matalin as deputy
campaign manager for political operations in the re-election campaign of
President George H.W. Bush. They have made frequent appearances in the
media as political commentators and both served separately as co-hosts of
CNN’s debate show “Crossfire.”
Carville’s long string
of electoral successes as a political consultant began in 1986 when he
managed the come-from-behind gubernatorial victory of Robert Casey in
Pennsylvania.
After guiding Clinton to victory in 1992, he was honored as campaign
manager of the year in 1993 by the American Association of Political
Consultants. He has since focused on foreign consulting. Carville is also
an author, actor, producer, talk-show host, speaker and restaurateur.
Matalin served as assistant to President George W. Bush and counselor to
Vice President Dick Cheney, the first White House official to hold that
double title. She first left her native Illinois for Washington, D.C., in
the 1980s to work for the Republican National Committee. She served as
national voter contact director for the Reagan-Bush campaign in 1984 and
held senior positions in the Bush campaign in 1988. Matalin currently runs
Threshold, a conservative publishing imprint at Simon & Schuster.
Carville and Matalin reside in Virginia with their daughters, Matalin
“Matty” Carville and Emerson “Emma” Carville.
