Political Consultants and Campaigns

Praise for Jason Johnson’s Political Consultants and Campaigns: One Day to Sell “Few campaign management texts successfully navigate between political science research and wisdom garnered from the trenches. Johnson’s Political Consultants and Campaigns finds that narrow pathway in grand fashion. It is an important book, rich in detail and insight, and should be on the shelf of anyone interested in modern campaign dynamics.” –Daniel M. Shea, Allegheny College “Jason Johnson brings theoretical power and real-world data together in this compelling study of how we organize and run modern political campaigns. He successfully bridges the gap between political science and practical politics with this book–one that both scholars and politicos will use in their work. We need more studies like Political Consultants and Campaigns that combine the lessons of theory with hard evidence from the field!” –Charles Cushman Jr., Graduate School of Political Management, George Washington University
