Wohl, P: Down Ballot How a Local Campaign Became a National Referendum on Abortion

"Engaging prose. . . . Will likely be a popular selection as the 2024 election draws near. It will also be of interest to those teaching civics and journalism." --Library Journal "Patrick Wohl's important, entertaining book illustrates what we lose when local news is replaced with nationalized political coverage. Anyone who thinks local politics is boring hasn't heard of the Pullen-Mulligan race."--Elise Jordan, NBC News and MSNBC political analyst "The Pullen-Mulligan race was unlike any other I covered in thirty-plus years in journalism on so many levels. It absolutely underscores the importance of paying attention to local races and to the critical role local media play in our democracy."--Madeleine Doubek, former Daily Herald political reporter and executive director of CHANGE Illinois
