Though George Norris was born and grew up in Ohio, he headed west
after earning his law degree and set up practice in Nebraska,
eventually settling in McCook. Elected to the House of
Representatives in 1902 and the Senate in 1912, Norris was a
Republican for most of his life but headed a wing called the
Progressives, who believed the government should be more responsive
to the needs of ordinary citizens. Norris believed it his duty to
vote according to conscience even if that sometimes conflicted with
party affiliation or popular sentiment. Beyond personal integrity,
Norris also left a considerable legacy of achievements: he promoted
the nonpartisan one-house Unicameral in Nebraska, led the effort to
create the Tennessee Valley Authority, and sponsored the Rural
Electrification Act. "Fighting Liberal" is Norris's account of his
amazing and admirable life from the early impoverished years that
informed his populist philosophy to his career in government, where
he made great contributions to the nation.
