| Info | Dick Mahoney is the former Secretary of State here in Arizona (1991-95) and a fourth-generation Arizonan. Board member, Central Arizona Water Conservation District. Professor at Thunderbird (1980-2001). His grandfather was a founder of the state, a decorated sheriff of Mohave County, and as state senator wrote into law the first minimum wage law for women. His father, a United States ambassador under John F. Kennedy, desegregated Arizona's public schools a year before the Brown v. Board of Education decision.
Dick is one of the leading historians in the United States on the Kennedys. His recent book, Sons and Brothers: The Days of Jack and Bobby Kennedy, was both a critical and a sales success. Dick was the John F. Kennedy Scholar at the University of Massachusetts and is professor emeritus at American Graduate School of International Management (Thunderbird) where he was awarded the most outstanding professor by 23 graduating classes over the course of his 21 years at Thunderbird. He has degrees from Princeton University (A.B.), Johns Hopkins University (Ph.D.) and Arizona State University (J.D.).
Dick has spearheaded four statewide initiatives in the past 5 years (three successfully), and is making a run for governor as an independent. Polls already show Mahoney in a solid position to become Arizona's next governor. He is 51 years old and lives with his daughter, Molly (aged 14) in Phoenix.
