Who is Lisa Graham Keegan?

Lisa Graham Keegan is an American education reform advocate and the author of the popular parenting book Simple Choices: Thoughts on choosing environments that support who your child is meant to be. She is the principal partner of the Keegan Company, an education policy consulting firm.

A former Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction, she served as a senior policy advisor on education to Senator John McCain's presidential campaigns in 2000 and 2008. At the 2008 National Republican Convention in St. Paul, MN she was a vice chairman of the Republican Party political platform committee, for which she wrote policy statements on education issues.

Simple Choices begins with Lisa Graham Keegan’s memoir of building a family through divorce, abandonment, adoption, mental impairment, sexual identity and all the challenges life has to offer. Rather than weakening the family, Keegan shows how these trials can help build a stronger family bond. The book concludes with advice on how to nurture children to lead a life of service.
