Editor, Contributor: Best-selling book on campaign finance

Buying of Congress

Buying of Congress

Contributor and editor to a best-selling book by Chuck Lewis on how campaign funds influence Congress. The book was a bestseller and won several awards.



The Assignment:

A former 60 Minutes producer hired me to work as an investigative reporter for a number of high-profile investigations relating to campaign finance. Working with a team of reporters at a non-profit investigative outfit, I contributed to and edited several sections of the book.

Results:

The book was a midlist bestseller, won several awards, and the resulting interest in campaign finance controversies resulted in the primary author of the book to obtain a contract to write a second on the race for the White House.
