A Pryor Commitment: The Autobiography of David Pryor

Since leaving the Senate, he has held academic positions at the University of Arkansas, Kennedy School of Government, and Clinton School of Public Service, and a presidential appointment to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Pryor completed his memoir before taking on yet another public role, chair of the state Democratic party for the 2008 fall campaign. Pryor's broad, enduring voter appeal, along with that of Dale Bumpers and Bill Clinton, is a noteworthy personal factor in explaining the relative success that Arkansas Democrats had in resisting the Republican tide rolling across the region.
