Books on Running for Public Office
Here are some MUST HAVE books on running a winning campaign. I have reviewed 13 such books and found three to recommend. Be sure to get the latest edition of each book:
- "How to WIN a Local Election: A complete step by step guide" by Judge Lawrence Grey (2007) - A terrific technical guide (the campaign manager is a bit better) and an outstanding read for understanding the "feel" of a campaign. If you only get one book, this is the one to get, although I recommend all three.
- "The Campaign Manager" by Catherine Shaw (3rd edition) - An excellent technical guide. A little dated (be sure to get the latest edition), but very much worth the read and for use as a guide to your campaign...starting with a Campaign Strategy.
- "Get out the Vote: How to increase voter turnout" by Donald Green & Alan Gerber (2nd edition) - Pretty much what the title says. Somewhat technical and indicates the difficulty of the GOTV effort. Provides techniques and measurement of the efforts/results (statistics) to help get ideas and implement efforts based on the resources available to the campaign.
I recommend you get these three books TODAY and read them ASAP. Have your key people read them as well, then put them to use. Use them to create your campaign strategy and all the steps to your winning the election. These are not recommendations from people who have run losing campaigns...these are from people who have run WINNING campaigns...and I want you to win!
