The debut novel that will make you enjoy politics
and believe in the power of democracy again.
"I don't think we can win," he tells her.
She laughs. "Joe Hill thinks he can't win?"
"Not without hurting someone."
"Did you honestly think you could take on the Congressman and not make a mess?"
Don't tell City Councilmember Joe Hill what he can't do—especially telling him to wait his time before climbing the political ladder all the way to Congress.
Inspired by a night of bar trivia, his consultant friends and a little old fashioned bullying, Joe Hill throws his hat in the ring against the 16-term incumbent of his own party to prove voters deserve a viable choice. Along the way, Joe and his team have to outsmart a system that does not want to change. They discover campaigns are a snapshot of life—unpredictable at best, and never fully how you expect it—but layered with ambition, greed, arrogance, blunt honesty, love, friendship, tragedy, faith, kindness and karma. And in the end, the young politician has to ask himself if winning an election is worth the costs in this fast-paced, character driven narrative of contemporary politics.
If anything, Joe Hill For Congress is a reminder that American politics are about the rise and the fall.
