Salmon himself attended ASU and graduated in 1981 before going on to get a master’s degree at Brigham Young University in public administration. He was elected to the Arizona State Senate before being joining Congress in 1994.
Salmon served three terms before leaving in 2000. He then worked as an education policy consultant to ASU before returning to Congress in 2012 and getting re-elected in 2014.
