Taking Back Politics is the first comprehensive, up-to-date guide on running for office. More than a how-to text, this book is a rare glimpse into the inner sanctum of today's rough-tough politics. It offers hundreds of tips on how to run and how to win, without having to break your budget. Cathy Allen has run more than 150 campaigns in 30 states and three continents. Her Seattle-based company, Campaign Connection, has amassed an impressive list of successful statewide, congressional, issue and legislative election victories. Campaigns & Elections magazine named Allen one of the most powerful women in American politics - and this book explains why.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Cathy Allen started Campaign Connection seven years ago with a simple message: elect women, people of color and members of the gay community so we can level the playing field of politics for the rest of us. Some 120 campaigns later - with a 76 per cent winning record - Allen and her team have amassed an impressive list of successful statewide, Congressional, issue and legislative election victories. In 1991, Allen helped elect a super-majority of women to the Seattle City Council, setting a record that still stands in American local politics. In 1992, she was credited with a record number of women who won at the state legislative level, including her own Washington state which became the first state to reach 40% representation by women legislators. Campaigns and Elections Magazine named her as one of the most powerful women in American politics. In 1996, Allen's firm had a winning record, helping to elect candidates including Gary Locke and Terri Bergeson to key statewide and local positions. And, in January of this year, Allen was elected to the Board of Directors of the American Association of Political Consultants. An author and trainer, Allen wrote "Political Campaigning: A New Decade," a nuts-and-bolts guide to winning in politics. Her latest book, "Taking Back Politics," is the most comprehensive book on running and winning campaigns. It is now available to the public. She also has written more than 80 campaign manuals targeted toward strategies to fight the Far Right, elect women, or train trainers. Campaign Connection has built its reputation primarily as a direct mail, opposition research and press relations consulting business. For its work, Allen and Campaign Connection have received several prestigious awards, including many statewide and political consulting awards. Allen has trained candidates and provided political strategy in 42 states, including Alaska and Hawaii. She's worked on four continents, recently advising political parties in Croatia, Canada, and South America. The National Education Association, the National League of Women Voters, the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs, and the New Democratic Party are among her clients. A Massachusetts native, Allen received her bachelor's degree in journalism from the University of Bridgeport (CT). She has a Master's Degree in Public Administration from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard. Prior to her political career, Ms. Allen worked as a newspaper reporter for the New York Times, the Anchorage Times and the Bridgeport Post. In addition to her campaign business, Allen also owns Community Connection, a public policy consulting business specializing in alternative citizen involvement and damage control.

My goal for the past four years has been to provide a comprehensive look at today's campaigns. To accomplish this task, I turned to the best: more than 100 campaign consultants, candidates, political professionals, journalists and friends - all of whom contributed to the learning revealed in these 376 pages.
