The Last Republican

About this book

A political study of Kentucky congressman Thomas Massie, an MIT-trained engineer and entrepreneur turned constitutional-originalist lawmaker known for demanding roll-call votes, opposing omnibus spending bills, and refusing corporate PAC money. Framed as neither biography nor campaign material, the book uses Massie's voting record and public statements since his 2013 swearing-in to argue that the Republican Party has drifted from the small-government, constitutional principles it once claimed to defend. Includes appendices of Massie's selected votes, floor statements, and congressional scorecards.
