Chet Edwards' congressional papers unveiled at Baylor

[TexasTowelie]

During his congressional career from 1990 to 2011, the Democratic lawmaker saved thousands of emails and letters from constituents, as well as speeches, campaign fliers and official documents on everything from the Branch Davidian siege to Fort Hood's expansion.

Further discussion available from the Baylor Lariat:

Former U.S. House Rep. Chet Edwards stopped by Dr Pepper Hour Tuesday to introduce himself to students during his first week as a part-time lecturer and distinguished chair of public service at Baylor.

Edwards, who represented the Waco area in Congress as a Democrat for 20 years, made his first appearance as a lecturer in several classes this week. He will continue to give lectures this semester on constitutional development, American national government, international relations and public service internship courses.

“If I can be a positive influence in the life of one student here at Baylor, then that would be very meaningful to me,” Edwards said at a Tuesday morning press event. “I’ll always revere this great university. It has a legacy of developing leaders in business and government, in our churches and houses of worship, and now to be officially part of that family is a wonderful new chapter in my life.”

As part of his chairmanship, Edwards will assist the Poage Legislative Library staff with moving his congressional papers to the Baylor archives.
