John Celock will be on CSPAN's Washington Journal this coming Sunday, July 3rd from 9:15 am to 10:00 am, to discuss his book, The Next Generation. This live show with viewer call is aired nationally.
Based on first-hand interviews, The Next Generation: Young Elected Officials and Their Impact on American Politics is an in-depth look at the people under 35 years old who run for office in the US.
"John Celock combines the story-telling abilities of a journalist with the systematic approach of a political scientist to produce an engaging and richly textured book of unusual depth and quality. Celock takes us with him as he crisscrosses the nation conducting extensive interviews aimed at understanding the political trajectories of young elected officials. His approach to the subject is simultaneously entertaining and systematic while relating the rich political context that surrounds each of the remarkable individuals he profiles. The Next Generation convincingly makes the argument that “next generation” politicians are bringing fresh ideas to our local, state and national politics and changing the political landscape."--Sean Q. Kelly - Professor of Political Science, California State University Channel Islands
