A Conversation with Governor Haley Barbour

In this episode of What’s Going On in the Statehouse, Keiffer Mitchell sits down with Haley Barbour, former Mississippi governor, RNC chairman, Reagan White House advisor, and co-founder of BGR Group. Barbour traces his rise from working on the Nixon campaign to leading efforts for Ford in the South, serving in the Reagan White House, chairing the RNC, and ultimately winning two terms as governor of Mississippi, where he led the state through Hurricane Katrina, the worst natural disaster in American history. He also reflects on his career as one of Washington’s most effective lobbyists, from his early days to building BGR into a leading public affairs firm.
