It is a bold political memoir that pulls back the curtain on California’s election system. David Hillberg shares his firsthand journey as an outsider candidate, revealing the hidden obstacles, bureaucratic roadblocks, and party manipulation that shape modern politics.
Blending personal storytelling with sharp political critique, the book exposes both the human toll of running for office and the systemic flaws that keep independent voices out. More than a memoir, it’s a wake-up call for voters, reformers, and anyone seeking to understand the realities behind the ballot.
