Summary: It's like having a campaign advisor in your pocket!
Comment: A friend bought me this book for Christmas because I was thinking of running for office. I didn't think much of the book until I sat down to read it. What a great book! This book dosen't waste your time reading through a lot of useless material to get to the point. I already had some ideas as to how I was going to run my campaign. After I sat down to read the book, I realized that some of my ideas would have wasted a lot of my time and money. Now, with the advice from this book I will be able to put on a much more effective campaign. I have a few friends who are thinking of running for office and I plan to do them a favor and buy them this book.

Summary: I lost EVERY battle but I won the WAR!
Comment: My opponent was the favored incumbent. She received the endorsement of the local newspaper AND her name was listed on the ballot before mine. All of these small things added up to sure and sudden defeat, right? Well, not so fast!
I purchased Mayor Thomas' book and followed the recommendations to the letter. Almost every suggestion, if not perfect for my situation, could be modified slightly to fit my situation. I had never run for local office before and had, literally, no idea where to begin. This book contained practical, logical, sound advice. I developed my "inner circle" and we found the "good voters" in just the fashion Mayor Thomas said we would. "How To Run For Local Office" also gave me the confidence to create a detailed plan and stick to it. If you're running for local office, you need to do two things. BUY this book, and hope your opponent doesn't!

Summary: Must Read If You Are Going To Run For Local Office
Comment: In the book 'How To Run For Local Office' author Robert J. Thomas explains his strategy for running for local office. This book is a solid guide for anyone who wants to run a campaign for local office. The book will go over all the basics in detail to run for office.
This book is easy and quick to read and so is a good handbook for running for office. The book is also very well organized so when different phases and events of your campaign occur the campaigner and the staff can look up the particular chapter that deals with what ever is happening and get good advice about what to do.
I would recommend anybody that is thinking about running for a local office read this book among others before getting started. This book isn't a good source for information for running for state or national office. Some of the information would be helpful to state or national office, but much of the information is applicable only to local elections and leaves much info out for running larger campaigns. There are many strategies that aren't mentioned in the book that could be used in local elections so this book shouldn't be the only book you read before campaigning. This book is one of the best though for local elections.
