Harold Ford Jr. has long distinguished himself as a charismatic, results-oriented politician with fresh ideas. His career began at age 26 after he won his father’s Congressional seat, serving his Tennessee district for ten years. He stepped into the national spotlight with his electric keynote at the 2000 Democratic National Convention, and in 2006 his reputation was further shaped during the closest Senate race in Tennessee’s history, which he lost. Ford feels passionately that our country’s best days are ahead, and in More Davids Than Goliaths, he presents his mission statement for America.
Reflecting on what he’s learned from his extended political family, the slings and arrows of the campaign trail, and those across our nation who inspire him, More Davids Than Goliaths explains Ford’s conviction, “At its best, leadership in government can solve, inspire, and heal.” Along the way, Ford reminds us that in America, there are more Davids than Goliaths, more solutions than problems, more that unites us than divides us.

      Former Congressman Harold Ford, Jr.'s, distinctive clipped speech, softened slightly by hints of his native Tennessee, lends the anecdotes in this brief memoir increased intimacy and veracity. His voice conveys the warmth and affection he feels toward his family as he touches briefly on his formative years and on helping with his father's Congressional campaigns. When he recounts the ideals that led him to pursue public service, the reason and practicality that have earned him recognition as a moderate become apparent. His delivery increases in intensity as he describes achievements and frustrations encountered during his career in Washington, reaching its most forceful points as he shares the inside story of the political wrangling he endured in his recent unsuccessful run for the Senate.
