Michael Dukakis
Michael Dukakis was the longest-serving governor in Massachusetts history and is generally credited with digging the state out of one of its worst financial and economic crises. He was also the Democratic presidential nominee in '88. Since '91, Dukakis has had posts in academia, including visiting professor at UCLA's School of Public Policy and Social Research. He also co-authored How to Get Into Politics - And Why, to encourage young people to think about public service as a career.
