ALT Daniel Robert “Bob” Graham was a public servant for nearly four decades at the local, state and national level, becoming one of the most accomplished politicians in Florida’s history. As first a state legislator, then governor and finally a three-term U.S. Senator, Senator Graham had a role in nearly every major public policy issue in modern Florida’s history. Having personally witnessed Florida’s rise from a predominantly rural Southern backwater to an economic and political juggernaut, Graham created the Bob Graham Center for Public Service at the University of Florida to continue his legacy of leadership and to train the next generation of Sunshine State leaders.
