Pat Ruckert has been involved in shaping physical economic policy for decades. His main ongoing publication today is the **California Water and Infrastructure Report,** published weekly since 2014. I first met Pat in 2022 at a Thanksgiving Dinner shortly after having read his [Thanksgiving Report Special](https://www.californiadroughtupdate.org/20221124-California-Water-and-Infrastructure-Report.pdf) in which he called for *“a renewed national commitment to advancing science, technology, and human culture, willed into being by all of our efforts.”*
Pat graduated from the University of Washington in 1967 at the height of the Vietnam War. From then until 1970 he worked full time to stop that war, becoming disgusted with most of the activist and left-wing organizations, for he knew all of them had no future.
One organization stood out to him. Coming from a family of constructors and farmers, being himself that for many years, he found a home in the LaRouche organization. Its focus on physical economy, building infrastructure, and lifting the entire worldwide population is what brought him home. He dedicated his life to the mission, in large part because of the rich and rigorous intellectual environment of this political movement, its intervention into American, and then worldwide politics.
