Grossman to Speak on Campaign Finance Reform

Princeton, N.J. -- Steven Grossman '67, the national chair of the Democratic National Committee, will give a lecture entitled "Campaign Finance Reform and Its Impact on Grassroots Politics" at Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs on Tuesday, October 14 at 4:30 p.m. in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall.

A lifelong democrat, Grossman was a member of the Democratic National Committee from 1989 to 1992 and served on the 1992 Democratic Platform Committee and the Platform Drafting Committee. Under Grossman's leadership as chair of the Massachusetts Democratic Party (1991 92), Massachusetts sent an entirely Democratic delegation to Congress in 1991, the state's first one-party delegation since 1872. As a politician, Grossman has been described in the Boston press as "an energetic party-builder and combative partisan" and "smart, feisty, and above all honest and decent."

Grossman has also served as president of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the largest pro-Israel citizens' advocacy organization. A Boston community leader, he is a trustee of Brandeis University and of Beth Israel Hospital, an overseer of the Museum of Fine Arts, the director of Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Greater Boston, and a member of the executive committee of the New England Anti-Defamation League. Grossman is president of the Massachusetts Envelope Company, a family business founded in 1910.

Grossman's lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, the Princeton College Democrats, and the Princeton Israel Public Affairs Committee.
