The Nugget Newspaper - News and Opinion from Sisters, Oregon

Sisters resident and former Senate candidate Harry Lonsdale will read from his new book "Running: Politics, Power, and the Press" at Paulina Springs Book Company on Sunday, November 3, at 4 p.m.

Lonsdale, who is now retired, was the founder of Bend Research. With no political experience, but great concern about the political direction the country was taking, Lonsdale ran for the U.S. Senate three times against long-term incumbent Mark Hatfield, garnering a significant portion of the Oregon vote.

"Running" is based on this experience and provides a first-hand account of what it's like to run for office in an era where TV ads and corporate money are dominant. Lonsdale remains a political activist and is particularly interested in campaign finance reform.

Paulina Springs Book Company is located at 252 W. Hood Ave. in Sisters.
