Posted by BEN BEAUMONT – Governor Mike Beebe will be among the participants in a reading of “Nothing Personal, Just Politics,” the new autobiography of the late Vada Sheid, of Mountain Home, Ark., the first woman in her own right elected to the Arkansas House and the Arkansas Senate.
The Clinton School of Public Service will host the reading Wednesday, May 28 at 6:00 p.m., and Beebe will be joined by Sheid’s son and daughter-in-law Richard and Mary Sheid, along with former ASU Board of Trustees Chairperson Chucki Bradbury of Little Rock and Richard Davies of North Little Rock, director of the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism. The event will be moderated by Clinton School Dean Skip Rutherford, who wrote the foreword for Sheid’s book.
A legend in Arkansas politics, Sheid died just months before her book was to be published. With underestimated influence, Sheid was a tireless advocate for her district and constituents. Her stories both fascinate and entertain as she gives a glimpse not only into the inner workings of state and national politics, but also into the life and mind of a most remarkable woman.
