Former Senator Tom Daschle will present the third annual Martin Olav Sabo Lecture
from 10:30 to 11:45 a.m. Monday, May 2, at the Humphrey Institute, Cowles Auditorium,

25 years. In 1978, he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, where
he served four terms and quickly became part of the Democratic Leadership. He
was elected Rocky Mountain Regional Whip in 1979, and from 1982 to 1986, he
assumed the role of Whip-at-large. In 1986, Daschle was elected to the U.S.
Senate in which he served until 2005. As Senator, he led the Democratic Party
as both Senate minority leader and Senate majority leader. Daschle also served
as co-chair of the Democratic Policy Committee from 1989 to 1999. He recently
joined the Washington, D.C. law firm Alston and Bird LLP as public policy advisor.
Since its inception in 2002, the Sabo Lecture Series has been a forum for distinguished
individuals to address the challenges of public service for our state and nation.
The series honors the public service career of Rep. Martin Olav Sabo (D-MN)
who has represented Minnesota for more than four decades at both the state and
federal government levels.
