Understanding how politicians think and how they behave is complicated. This book is not a memoir, but an explanation of what happens to everyone who enters public life. It will stir the discussion we need to preserve the lifeblood of democracy, encourage compromise and the common good, and stop our current descent into tribalism. These stories will increase understanding of the people who serve in public office.
