FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Congressman Barry Goldwater, Jr.
Thursday, May 22nd at 7 p.m.
Mission Viejo City Council Chamber
200 Civic Center, Mission Viejo, CA 92691
Note: Just behind city library (La Paz Road and Marguerite Parkway)
Join us for a lecture/book signing with former Congressman Barry M Goldwater Jr. (R) CA (son of Senator Goldwater) who will present a discussion for his new book, Pure Goldwater (co written with John Dean). A question and answer session and book signing will follow the event. Books will be available for purchase at the event.
With unprecedented access to Senator Goldwater’s correspondence, interviews, and behind-the-scenes conversations, Dean and Goldwater shed new light on this political figure. From the late Senator’s honest thoughts on Richard Nixon to his growing discomfort with the rise of the extreme right, Pure Goldwater offers a revelatory look at an American icon–and also reminds us of a more hopeful alternative to the dispiriting political landscape of today.
Barry M. Goldwater, Jr. is a former Congressman from California, and is the son of Senator Barry Goldwater. In April of 1969 Goldwater ran his first race for Congress representing northern Los Angeles County. He won that race for the 91st Congress and was reelected for six consecutive terms. During his time in Washington Goldwater served on several committees such as the Committee on Public Works and Transportation, the Joint Committee on Energy, the Committee on Science and Technology, and also served on the Special Committee that reviewed the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster.
