Campaigning for President

The Museum of Democracy proudly presents this fully updated 2024 version of the 2008 book: Campaigning for President, by Jordan M. Wright. An avid collector, growing his presidential campaign memorabilia into "the nation's finest private collection" was Jordan's passion for nearly 40 years. Following the release of the original book, Jordan passed away unexpectedly at the age of 50. The Museum of Democracy was created to ensure his legacy lived on through traveling exhibitions and a permanent display at Long Island University's Post campus. New York Times best-selling author Mark Bego was brought in to create this new edition of Campaigning for President, which includes the original version with the addition of five new presidential cycles, from 2008 to 2024, to reflect the present political landscape. Honoring the intent of the prestigious collection, the new, fully illustrated section highlights the five most recent presidential campaigns with the same vigor and enthusiasm as Wright's original creation. This book is spearheaded by Pamala Wright, whose late husband, Jordan M. Wright, created the original collection it salutes. Jordan's legacy is further enhanced in the version with contributions from his son Austin C. Wright, who serves as Chairman of The Board of The Museum of Democracy, and his daughter, Mackenzie Wright Brumberg.
