Here’s the cover for Michelle Rhee’s new book, coming out in January. It’s called “RADICAL: Fighting to Put Students First.” Read a few more details here.
Why should you care about Rhee? Her Sacramento-based organization, StudentsFirst, was involved in Ian Calderon’s successful state assembly primary race and Brian Johnson’s unsuccessful one, as well as various rumored LIFO-ending proposals. There’s more of that to come, no doubt.
The organization also just hired a new California communications person, Erin Shaw, who has previously worked for State Senator Sam Blakeslee, Lieutenant Governor Abel Maldonado, and Governors Arnold Schwarzenegger and Gray Davis.
