Advanced Praise for Contract to Unite America
​
-Frank Lutz, pollster and communications advisor
​
Neal Simon is insightful, funny, and solutions-focused. In Contract to Unite America, he illuminates a path forward for politics--one fostering cooperation and new approaches to problem-solving. We enthusiastically recommend it.
​
-Katherine M. Gehl and Michael E. Porter, authors of The Politics Industry: How Political Innovation Can Break Paritsan Gridlock and Save Our Democracy
​
This book is for every American who is fed up with dysfunction and partisan paralysis in Washington and looking for how to fix it. Neal has the real-world experience running for office as an independent, with some amazing lessons learned. The ideas in Contract to Unite America ought to be required reading for congressional orientation. ​
​
-Glenn Nye, former member of Congress and CEO of the Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress
​
We are in a dark moment in American politics and the only way out is to fix the system itself. There are so many terrible rules and laws governing how we elect people ​and how Congress operates that make pragmatic problem-solving impossible. In this book, Neal offers a thoughtful and urgent prescription for how to repair our democracy before it's too late.
