Requirements: .ePUB .AZW3 Reader | 4.7 MB
Overview: Rachel Barnhart spent 17 years as an investigative and public interest journalist in Rochester, New York. She left her job to run for New York State Assembly. Reporting on politics for so many years didn’t prepare her for what would happen on the campaign trail: gender-based attacks, smear websites and relentless criticism because she dared to take on the establishment. Broad, Casted is the story of a how an accomplished Ivy League graduate was reduced to a “prom queen.”
In Broad, Casted, Barnhart raises important questions about the television news industry and party politics. Barnhart calls for end to racial and economic divisions in the Monroe County Democratic Party and offers a third way. The local party acted like an exclusive club, even sending out a mailer to voters accusing Barnhart of not being a "real Democrat." Yet the election results show Barnhart did better among less affluent and minority voters than did her opponent. What does it mean to be a "real Democrat?"
