“They walked through the political fire and lived to tell their story. And what a story it is.”
Worse Than You Think dives into the real-life journey of a high school teacher who took the bold step of running for Congress in 2018. Along for the ride was his best friend and fellow educator, author Heath Hamrick, whose job was simple: make everything work out in the end. Together, they embark on a quest to fix the "crazy circus" of our partisan divide, only to find themselves in a series of comical and eye-opening situations, encountering bizarre characters that could only arise deep in the heart of American politics. Worse Than You Think offers laughter, surprises, and perhaps a spark of inspiration to those contemplating their role in democracy. Whether you're seeking validation for your political cynicism, a guide on what not to do in a political campaign, or just a good laugh, this book promises to be an engaging read.
