ABC News is reporting that former Carter White House press secretary Jody Powell died today of an apparent heart attack.
Powell was a member of Carter’s “Georgia Mafia,” that blew through Washington in what was supposed to be a cleansing storm that ultimately proved to be short-lived. Powell stayed on in Washington, making frequent TV appearances as a political analyst and co-founding the public relations and consulting firm Powell Tate, where he was chairman at the time of his death.
