Former U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander is using a new book to make a closing argument for the value of public service. According to WBIR, in “The Education of a Senator: From JFK to Trump,” Alexander will reflect on more than 50 years in politics and encourages Americans who want change to seek elected office themselves. Alexander spoke on the campus of Maryville College and said those who want to create meaningful change should seek elected office or work for an elected official. Alexander, a former Tennessee governor, U.S. education secretary and three-term U.S. senator, reportedly will recount encounters with presidents from John F. Kennedy to Donald Trump and offer candid assessments of their leadership. The book is scheduled for release in May.
