Author Rob Curnock knows politics from every angle—as a volunteer, TV reporter, and county party leader. He ultimately got a front-row seat to the down-and-dirty world of politics during his unlikely run for Congress against an entrenched incumbent. “I experienced the often brutal realities of running for office—and learned how ordinary citizens can shake up the system,” he says. Whether you’re thinking of running for office—or just curious about what it takes—Rob delivers an inside look that is as timely as today’s headlines. He is a long-time broadcast journalist and the author of “Dead Man Running.” Contact Rob Curnock at (254) 822-3741; rcurnock@rtirguests.com
