Chris Carlson is also the author of “Medimont Reflections” and “Cecil Andrus, Idaho's Greatest Governor.” Originally from Kellogg Idaho, he worked as press secretary for Idaho Governor Cecil D. Andrus and later when Andrus became President Jimmy Carter's Secretary of the Interior as Director of the Interior office of public affairs and as assistant to the secretary. In 1989 he became the founding partner for The Gallatin Group, the Northwest’s largest independent public affairs and strategic communications business with offices in Spokane, Boise, Seattle, Portland and Helena. Two life-threatening diseases dictated an early disability retirement, but he has filled the time by writing a weekly political column carried by several Idaho daily and weekly newspapers as well as two blog sites and he has written two widely acclaimed and well-reviewed books covering his time with Andrus as well as the many public issues he has been involved with over a 40 year career. He and his wife Marcia live in northern Idaho.
