Wyoming Vice-Chairman Mike Bell was born in Washington State but grew up in Minnesota. Mike caught the “political bug” when he was only eleven years old, when he called the Carter/Mondale campaign to see if he could volunteer at the Campaign headquarters. Since then, he has worked on a number of local, state and national campaigns – some in a paid capacity, and other campaigns as a volunteer. An accomplished author, Mike has written about PT209 – the boat John F. Kennedy was on in WWII. The book later was adopted into a documentary on the topic. Mike holds a BA in Political Science and holds two MA’s: one in History and one in Teaching. Mike, an avid Boston Red Sox fan is the proud father of a two year old son.
