Worse Than You Think

The Mostly True Story of Two Teachers Running for Congress Deep in the Heart of Texas

Beschreibung

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.

Autor

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.
