with Richard Lamm on Jul 17, 1996
Richard Douglas “Dick” Lamm is an American politician and lawyer. He served three terms as Governor of Colorado as a Democrat (1975-1987) and ran for the Reform Party’s nomination for President of the United States in 1996.
In 1985, while still in the governor’s office, he tried his hand at published fiction as a novelist. The resulting novel, ?1988?, was a story about a former Democratic governor of Texas running for U.S. President on a populist third-party ticket, declaring himself a “progressive conservative.”
After leaving office, Lamm has continued to speak publicly on environmental, immigration reduction, and health care issues
