A Republican and a Democrat on the same page? That’s rare. That is where you will find Martin Frost and Tom Davis, sharing their views in The Partisan Divide. Hailing from Virginia’s 11th District, Tom Davis served in Congress from 1994 to 2008. Martin Frost comes from Dallas-FT, Texas served in Congress for 26 years. With The Partisan Divide, they aim to save Congress from itself.
The book offers recommendations on important issues like federal deficit, campaign finance, and conducting jungle primaries before the national ones. They strongly believe that Congress can reform itself. With entertaining photos and anecdotes the authors analyze the causes of political gridlock and propose a bipartisan plan to pave a way out of the current situation.
The book is an excellent source to take a look at the recent political history as well as a guide to the American political system for college students.
” Martin Frost and Tom Davis are uniquely qualified to examine how constant conflict in Washington keeps too many good things from happening.”
