Nationally-syndicated radio commentator, writer, and public speaker

New York Times best-selling author, nationally-syndicated radio commentator, prolific writer, inspiring public-speaker, and an all-around populist firebrand, Jim Hightower has become a grassroots, progressive icon. He has spent the last three decades battling the Powers That Be on behalf of the Powers That Ought To Be: working families, consumers, community builders, small business, environmentalists…and just plain folks.

Known as “America’s most popular populist,” Hightower says that our country’s true political spectrum is not right to left but top to bottom – and he’s a leading national voice for the workaday majority of Americans who know that they are no longer in shouting distance of the political and corporate powers at the top. He reaches an amazingly broad spectrum of the public with his winning message of bottom-up politics and economics.
