Author Bio - Intro
Jeff Ward is a semi-sought after campaign manager/coach, a well-regarded 17-year journalist who’s covered a slew of political campaigns, a radio show host/podcaster, and an author. He’s the founder of Forward Communication, a company that helps candidates avoid the typical campaign pitfalls and boasts an 75 percent track record of getting major city mayors, county chairmen, sheriffs, state’s attorneys, and judges elected.
Jeff leveraged those experience into his new book, So You Want to Win a Local Election, a step-by-step manual that’s like having a campaign manager in a box. SYWtWaLE covers everything from ensuring your spouse is onboard to effective messaging to how to get yard signs into frozen ground.
Jeff’s political career kicked off as an 8-year opinion columnist for the then Chicago Sun-Times suburban newspapers and he continues to write at TheFirstWard.net. He was the driving force behind and 5-year co-host of the Ward & Jones radio talk show out of Elgin, Illinois.
