Judd Gregg CC '69 is a Republican Senator from New Hampshire. He has also served as a Representative from and a Governor of the state. There is recent speculation that he might be asked to serve as Commerce Secretary in Barack Obama's cabinet, which would lead to a filibuster-proof Democratic Party majority in the Senate.
Born in New Hampshire to his father, who also served as governor of the state, Gregg first followed in his footsteps by attending exlusive Exeter. He came to Columbia because it was located in the "biggest city [he] could find", having never visited campus and barely glancing at the brochure. Despite his staunch conservatism, and though he avoided the 1968 protests, Gregg was fond of soaking up the activist atmosphere in New York while at Columbia. An avid urban explorer, he jokes he majored in "subway studies" and spent much of his time in the city's museums. Despite a fondness for art history, he eventually majored in English.
After graduation, Gregg returned to New England, attending Boston University law school and eventually moving back to his home state.
