Podcast appearances and mentions of drew edmondson

On today's episode I chatted with Oklahoma Hall of Fame 2024 inductee Mr Drew Edmondson. A true “Okie from Muskogee”, Drew Edmondson has dedicated his life to the service of others. Edmondson graduated from Northeastern State University and The University of Tulsa College of Law before joining the United States Navy and serving a tour of duty in Vietnam. In 1998 he joined seven other attorneys general to negotiate a $206 billion national settlement that would forever change the way tobacco companies market their products. In Oklahoma, the settlement led to the creation of the Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust—TSET—a constitutionally protected fund championed by Edmondson to guarantee the tobacco settlement proceeds would be spent on public health in perpetuity. Today, TSET contains more than $1 billion and has helped make Oklahoma a hub for cancer research. Full Bio: https://www.oklahomahof.com/hof/inductees/drew-edmondson Huge thank you to our sponsors.
