Politics - Jim Nowlan - Bog

This book is for persons new to politics and government, or who are interested in becoming involved. The goal is to provide "how to" guidance and lessons learned that can help you succeed in public life. This is a "starter kit." I draw in part on my own career over half a century in Illinois and D.C.-as an intern; legislative staffer; state legislator; statewide candidate; senior aide to three governors of Illinois; state agency director on three occasions; campaign manager for a U.S. senator (successful) and presidential candidate (interesting); lobbyist; newspaper columnist, and professor (see bio sketch at back).
