- Description:
- Frank Albert discusses his time in the Georgia State Senate, recalling experiences working on Senate Committees with Zell B. Miller and Culver Kidd. Albert recalls various issues that surfaced during his tenure, including the Georgia Lottery and his attempts to call for an official Georgia State Dog. He also talks about a few particularly memorable experiences, including Culver Kidd’s “Crown Royal pants” and the articles written about him when he endorsed Democratic candidate Zell B. Miller for Governor. Albert discusses his experience running for U.S. Congress and his opinion concerning the “Washington scene” and campaign finance. He also gives his views on Ted Cruz and the Tea Party.
After graduating from the University of South Carolina, serving six months in the army, and opening a John Deere dealership in Augusta, Georgia, Frank Albert was elected to the Georgia Senate in 1964. He served as a Republican Senator for eight years, working closely with such politicians as Governor Zell B. Miller, Senator Culver Kidd, and Speaker of the Georgia House of Representatives Tom Murphy. Albert later ran for U.S. Congress and co-started a cosmetic teeth company in 1986 with his wife Nancy.
