James “The Ragin’ Cajun” Carville is one of America’s best-known political consultants. His career has spanned five decades during which time he has represented a long list of candidates across the globe. But Carville is probably best known for his work with the campaigns of former President Bill Clinton and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barack. He also was a consultant for then U.S. Senator and former First Lady Hillary Clinton’s failed 2008 presidential run.
Carville has a long list of electoral successes. He has most recently focused on campaigns in more than 23 countries around the globe, stretching from the continents of South America to Europe to Africa and, most recently, Asia.
Most Americans recognize Carville from his many appearances on television. From 2002 to 2005, he even hosted the CNN program Crossfire.
The event will be at the Red Mountain Theater at 1600 3rd Ave. South: Birmingham, Alabama 35233.
The evening will begin at 5:30 p.m. with a welcome reception. Carville is scheduled to deliver his remarks at 7:00 p.m. Afterwards, there will be a question-and-answer session. Dessert and book signings will follow at 8:00 p.m.
Tickets start at $125.
According to their website, PARCA works to support and inform policymakers at all levels, from state-wide elected officials to Legislators, to city and county officials, to public school administrators, and to nonprofit leaders. PARCA is Alabama’s first and only nonprofit, nonpartisan, good government research center.
