History 605 from the archives: Electing George S. Mickelson

We ran this episode during Season 1 and it got a great response, so in this interim between seasons, we are pulling it out of the archives and re-releasing it before we start Season 4. I hope you enjoy our conversation with Paul Wilson, one of George Mickelson's campaign staff during his run for Governor in 1986. He also assisted in writing the speech announcing Governor Mickelson's Year of Reconciliation in 1990. Paul authored an essay about the campaign that has since appeared in "The Plains Political Tradition," Vol 4.
