"In contemporary American politics, where absurdity often overshadows reality, Worse Than You Think emerges as a refreshingly candid and witty account of what happens when ordinary individuals, fueled by a blend of idealism and frustration, leap into the political arena. This narrative dives into the real-life journey of a high school teacher, Edward "Todd" Allen, who took the bold step of running for Congress in 2018. Along for the ride was his best friend and fellow educator, Heath Hamrick, who had a simple job: make everything work out in the end. Todd and Heath embark on a quest to fix the "crazy circus" of our partisan divide, only to find themselves in a series of comical and eye-opening situations, encountering bizarre characters that could only arise deep in the heart of American politics. Worse Than You Think offers laughter, surprises, and perhaps a spark of inspiration to those contemplating their role in democracy. Whether you're seeking validation for your political cynicism, a guide on what not to do in a political campaign, or just a good laugh, this book promises to be an engaging read"--

Autorenporträt
Todd Allen and Heath Hamrick are award-winning high school teachers, creative consultants, and just possibly the most naive, idealistic, and clueless political neophytes in the long history of American politics. Both Todd and Heath graduated from Trinity University in San Antonio with degrees in political science, and by 2004 both were in Texas classrooms, facing the surprising knowledge that they were born educators. In 2018, Todd Allen ran for US Congress in Texas CD-24 as a Democrat, with Heath as his campaign manager, media guru, and wartime consigliere who dispensed the kind of idealistic advice that only works on television shows scripted by Aaron Sorkin. Todd serves as an educational administrator, while Heath works as an educational and media consultant.
