John Eric Carlson (born June 3, 1959) is an American politician and talk radio host on KVI-AM by Fisher Broadcasting from the state of Washington. He also co-hosted a show from 12:00PM to 2:00PM pacific time called The Commentators, with John Carlson and Ken Schram.The Commentators was discontinued in September, 2010, and starting September 20, 2010, Carlson and Schram each began hosting separate, new shows on the same station, with Carlson on from 9:00AM to Noon and Schram from Noon to 3:00PM.
Carlson is "right leaning" or "conservative" and often at odds with what he terms Seattle's "liberal elite." He believes that the left leaning political trends that permeate much of urban Seattle are too tolerant of high taxation and criminal behavior.
Carlson graduated in 1981 with a bachelor's degree in Political Science Honors Program at the University of Washington. In late 1999 he was listed as one of the university's one hundred "Alumni of the Century". In 2008 the UW's alumni magazine listed him as one of its "Wondrous 100" living alumni.
After a brief stint in the Reagan Administration in ’81-’82, Carlson served as Communications Director for Republican Washington State Chairman Jennifer Dunn.
