The Last Election is ". . . a lively tale about balancing one’s moral commitments with the realities of political life." Kirkus Reviews.SynopsisJohn Quincy Barnes doesn’t like politics. He doesn’t like what candidates have to do to get elected. Once they get elected, he doesn’t much care for what they have to do to get anything done.

Aidan, Connecticut’s most influential party boss, wants Quinn to primary four-term Senator Saul Berg to address the state’s growing crisis over income inequality. The timing of Aidan’s plea could not be worse. At work, Quinn has just undertaken the controversial pro-bono representation of the mother of a Latino teen shot in nearby East Haven. At home, he’s struggling mightily in his marriage to his wife, Brooke, while his daughter, Eliza, and two sons, Pierce and Ben, grapple with the unique challenges of growing up multi-racial.
