The Fourth Branch

“In a distracted age, focus is a superpower, and this book’s supremely persuasive case to focus energy on state government and unlock its power will win you over. If you’re upset about what’s happening around the country, The Fourth Branch offers a concrete way to make change.”—Chris Hayes, MS NOW host and bestselling author of The Siren’s CallThis part handbook, part history, and part personal narrative will open readers’ eyes to the oft-overlooked arm of government that has done more harm and more good than any other in recent years: state legislatures.
