Remembering Jess Hay
As the finance chairman for the Democratic National Committee in the late 1970s, Jess Hay was one of the most influential Democrats in the country.
He helped raised campaign cash for former President Jimmy Carter and former Vice President Walter Mondale, as well as Texans like former Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby and former U.S. Sen. Lloyd Bentsen.

Hay died last week in Dallas at age 84.
