Senator Mark O. Hatfield
Senator Mark O. Hatfield is a senior statesman who enjoys a reputation for integrity, bipartisan advocacy, and social action. In his half century of public service he served as Oregon state representative, state senator, secretary of state, governor, and five-term U.S. Senator. He chaired the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee, consistently built coalitions between unlikely allies, and often stood alone for what he felt was right.
Hatfield is an engaging and charismatic speaker, a long-time member of the American Heritage Dictionary's word usage board, and author of several books, among them, Not Quite So Simple, A Politician Re-Examines the Temptations and Dangers of the Easy Answer, and Freeze! How You Can Help Prevent Nuclear War (with Senator Edward Kennedy).
Hatfield began his career as a political science professor, and continues to enjoy his time teaching modern political issues and urban politics inside the college classroom.
As of 2007 Hatfield serves on the board of directors for Oregon Health & Science University. His papers and book collection are stored in the Willamette University Archives and Special Collections, inside the Mark O. Hatfield Library. Senator Hatfield merited his own chapter in Tom Brokaw's The Greatest Generation.
