Book Review - A Millennial's Guide to Running for Office: How to Get Elected Without Kissing the Ring

About the Book
America has become a gerontocracy - and it’s showing its age. Our future depends on young people running for and winning elected office. Yet despite historically high interest in politics among the young, few are entering the halls of power. Young candidates at all levels of government need a new model. A political newcomer, Henry Bouchot shocked the political establishment in Richard Nixon’s hometown of Whittier, California, defeating a nine-term incumbent to become the youngest member in the history of the Whittier City Council in 2018. In A Millennial’s Guide, Henry shows how he harnessed his business education and experience in the Marines to create an unbeatable campaign. He goes beyond just the nuts and bolts of campaigning and describes how to make running both an unforgettable experience and an unstoppable one.

 



My Take on the Book
This was a great book for anyone interested in thinking about running for a political office. The book is written in a way that captures your attention from the very first page and keeps your attention throughout the book. The book really looks at how someone can commit to a life of service. The book also provides you with a number of lessons that you could follow to run your own campaign. What was great though is the fact that the book using the character of Henry to walk you through the practical lessons. This made the book easy to read and relate to. The book is packed with great insights and is a book that you can take and learn from right away.
