Book excerpt: Attorney, author, and activist Christine Pelosi presents leadership lessons from the campaign trail for anyone who wants to run for office, advocate for a cause, or win a public policy issue. Right from the stroller, Pelosi was campaigning with her mother Nancy, and she knows like few others the nuts and bolts of politics. Christine uses a boot camp model to provide practical advice and “get real” exercises, distilling best practices from across the political spectrum. Pelosi shows aspiring leaders how to master the fundamentals of campaigning—management, message, money, and mobilization—laying out a 7-step program for effective campaigning at all levels of public service, from community initiatives to congressional races “A passionate call to public service—and a practical guide for making that service more productive. Christine Pelosi is a sharp and knowledgeable drill sergeant looking to whip our democratic process back into shape.” —Arianna Huffington
