The Congressional Experience: An Institution Transformed

* Written by current US Representative David E. Price (D-NC) who is a trained political scientist as well as a long-standing public servant, combining the best of contemporary insights into the practical politics of Congress with theoretical connections with the discipline. * Price is also a trained divinity student and brings to the study and practice of public service a devotion to ethics and religion, offering a fresh and unusual perspective at a time of amoral and immoral politics. * The book covers key topics including campaigning for Congress (winning and losing), gerrymandering, money and politics, constituent service, committee service and structure, budget and appropriations, and foreign policy-thus expanding the market for the book to a general American government course in addition to courses focused on Congress.
