Former U.S. Senator Richard Burr on his political career, politics now, and his new focus on K-12 education strategy

Date:

Due South speaks with former U.S. Senator Richard Burr.

Burr spent 28 years in Congress – serving first in the U.S. House, before ascending to the upper chamber. Once there, he chaired the Senate Intelligence Committee, was a reliably conservative vote, and across three terms generally avoided controversy.

In one of his final acts in office, he voted to convict President Donald Trump of incitement of insurrection – one of just seven Republicans to do so.

Today, Burr is working at the Aspen Institute, with an aim toward improving education, as part of a bipartisan effort. Burr joins Jeff Tiberii to discuss his political career and much more.
