Dr. David Watters, NH State Senator District 4

Senator David Watters - Renaissance Man of the Senate

David Watters laughs off the moniker of Renaissance man of the Senate but there's a lot of truth to it. A mutual friend wrote me with the following:

"David is an expert on all kinds of things: New England graveyards, the New England Primer, hornbooks of New England, clown history, Shaker history (particularly African American Shakers), African American history and literature, slavery in New Hampshire, New Hampshire African American history, Grace Metalious, Robert Frost, human rights (he was active in a local chapter of Amnesty International and I think headed that chapter) and more. He also is interested in Native American history and has sponsored legislation on behalf of Natives in this state."

This podcast focuses on his work in the Senate but I suspect we will do a future podcast where we explore some of these other passions of this very interesting fellow.
