Ray LaHood Joins Dirksen Center as Senior Advisor
The Dirksen Congressional Center is pleased to announce that Ray LaHood, former
member of Congress and recently retired as Secretary of Transportation in
President Obama’s Cabinet, has joined The Center as Senior Advisor.
“I’m a big fan of The Center,” LaHood said. “The work they do with teachers all
over the country is impressive. I began my career as a teacher in Pekin, so
I’ve watched The Center grow and prosper over the years.”
“We are honored to welcome Ray LaHood as a Senior Advisor to The Center,” said
Drew Leman, President of The Center’s Board of Directors. “His service to the
country continues the exemplary tradition of Everett Dirksen and Bob Michel,
his predecessors in the U.S. House of Representatives.”
According to staff member Frank Mackaman, LaHood’s association with The Center
goes back decades to his days as chief of staff to Michel. He and his wife,
Kathy, endowed the Ray and Kathy LaHood Scholarships for the Study of American
Government through The Center in 2005. LaHood donated his congressional papers
to The Center in 2008.
LaHood joins Robert H. Michel as current Senior Advisors. Others who have
served in that role include the late Senator Paul Simon and former Senator
Howard H. Baker, Jr.
The Dirksen Congressional Center is a private, non-profit, non-partisan
research and educational organization located in Pekin, IL. Its mission is to
help people better understand the U.S. Congress, its people, its processes, and
the public policies it produces.
