E.E. Tyson was a carpenter, a factory worker and a machinist after dropping out of high school. He started a machine shop business, grew it for a few years, then sold it and started a graphic design business which became a political consulting business. He fundraised and created direct mail for local, state and federal elections in Kansas. Nineteen years ago he moved to New Mexico, and moved out of direct involvement in electoral politics to take a job as an administrator at a not-for-profit education institution. For several years he has been caring for elderly relatives, building a house, and going back to school. All that’s over for now, so he’s back to messing about in electoral politics, although no one is paying him yet. Follow him on Twitter @eetys0n.
