Jim Hightower
Jim Hightower's roots are firmly planted in his populist Texan origins and were nurtured by the discussions he heard outside his father's newsstand on Main Street. He worked his way through college to graduate from North Texas University with a degree in government, and he went on to a year of graduate studies in international affairs at Columbia University. In the late 1960's, Jim Hightower moved to Washington, where he served as legislative aide to Senator Ralph Yarborough, worked on rural development issues for the Rural Housing Alliance, then founded and directed the Agribusiness Accountability Project. During this last period - 1970 to 1975 - Jim Hightower investigated the impact of monopolys on farm and food policies. This resulted in articles in national publications and testimonies before congressional committees and ultimately two books, written with his partner, Susan DeMarco: "Eat Your Heart Out" and "Hard Tomatoes, Hard Times." From 1975 to 1976, Jim Hightower was campaign manager for Fred Harris, working for his beliefs and not for pay.

Jim Hightower Jim Hightower has been described as that rarest of species: "A visionary with horse sense, and a leader with a sense of humor." Today, Hightower is one of the most respected "outside Washington" leaders in the United States. It is his passionate belief that to move America from greed to greatness "we must once again tap into the genius and gumption of the grassroots people of our countrythe workaday majority of Americans." Known as "America's most popular progressive populist," Hightower believes that "the true political spectrum is not right to left, but top to bottom," and he has become a leading national voice for the 80 percent of us who no longer find ourselves even within shouting distance of those at the top. Author , radio commentator, public speaker and political sparkplug, this Texan has spent more than two decades battling Washington and Wall Street on behalf of consumers, children, working families, environmentalists, small business and just-plain-folks. info@jimhightower.com

Jim Hightower battles the right with humor and courage
By MARTY RACINE
He is perpetual motion, a whip of a man in jeans, work shirt, all-seeing glasses and white Stetson. Continuous movement helps spread the word. RESOURCES Photo Gallery His mustache twitches, betraying a chuckle over the absurdity of some injustice or another. Humor guides him through it. Former Texas Agriculture Commissioner Jim Hightower is moving again, sharpening his wit and rallying the troops on his nationwide Rolling Thunder Downhome Democracy Tour. En route, he's become one of the dynamic populist voices of his era. Equal parts Will Rogers, Franklin Roosevelt and P.T. Barnum, Hightower is the card-carrying comedian of farmer-labor bedrock progressivism. As commentator, columnist and public speaker, he's mad and funny as hell, battling the Powers That Be on behalf of the Powers That Ought to Be: consumers, environmentalists, small-business owners, family farmers.

Interview with Jim Hightower
A hellraising Texas radio personality fights to stay on the dial. By Evan Smith November/December 1995 Issue
E-mail article

Print article
Former Texas agriculture commissioner, former editor of the Texas Observer and, now, former radio personality? Jim Hightower hopes not, but even he's not sure what the future holds. Officials of the ABC Radio Networks recently notified the self-described "kick-ass populist" that they were dropping his weekly talk show, "Hightower Radio," which had 1 million listeners across the country. If Hightower can't find a new syndicator, progressives will lose yet another sympathetic voice in the media. On a mild day in early September, shortly after his meeting with ABC Radio, Hightower met with Mother Jones at Las Manitas, Austin's classic Mexican eatery. Over barbacoa tacos, he spokein his distinctive drawlabout his show, Bill Clinton, and the Republicans who would be king.
