State Senator Marian Walsh has never lost an election. Beginning
with her first run for the Massachusetts House of Representatives in
1988 as a political unknown, Walsh was re-elected to a second term
then went on to serve nine consecutive terms in the Massachusetts
State Senate until 2011. She was the first woman to hold her House
and Senate seats and also held ranking positions, including Majority
Whip. She was nominated for the prestigious John F. Kennedy Profile
in Courage Award, honoring those in public service "who, acting in
accord with their conscience, risk their careers by pursing a larger
vision." A former chief administrative officer for the Suffolk County
District Attorney's Office, Walsh is also an attorney. She was graduated
from the Newton College of the Sacred Heart, Suffolk University
Law School and Harvard Divinity School. Currently a public affairs
consultant and leadership coach as well as a lecturer of ethics and
leadership at Northeastern University, Walsh resides in Massachusetts
with her husband, Paul V. Buckley.

It studies the fast-moving campaign facets, voter lists, polls, fundraisers, phone banks, standouts, speeches, marketing literature and public appearances with breadth and believability.
Senator Marian Walsh in Run: Your Personal Guide to Winning Public Office leaves no stone unturned in the navigation of a race to public office that zigzags.
