Biography

Joseph Paul Overton (4 January 1960, South Haven, Michigan – 30 June 2003) was a senior vice president of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy. He held a bachelor of science degree in electrical engineering from Michigan Technological University and a Juris Doctor degree from the Thomas M. Cooley Law School.

Overton is known for conceiving of the idea now known as the Overton window, the range of policies politically acceptable to the mainstream at a given time.

He died at age 43 from injuries suffered in a crash while piloting an ultralight aircraft, soon after taking off from the Tuscola Area Airport near Caro, Michigan. Overton had just married a few weeks before the accident.
