Dennis Johnson is professor emeritus, George Washington University's Graduate School of Political Management. For most of his career, Dennis was a university professor, but for a decade he took a break from teaching and writing; he worked on Capitol Hill and later became a political consultant. His writings have concentrated on the history of American public policy and the professionalization of modern campaigns. Two new books will be coming out in mid 2022. Campaigns, Elections, and the Threat to Democracy, 2d ed (Oxford) and American Public Policy: Federal Domestic Policy Achievements and Failures, 1901-2022 (Routledge). Dennis has also written Democracy for Hire: A History of American Political Consulting (Oxford, 2016), a major contribution to the study of political consulting and its impact on campaigns and elections. He also is co-editor, with his GSPM colleague Lara M. Brown, of Campaigning for President 2016 (Routledge, 2017). Dennis lives in Denver, Colorado, with his wife Pat and their dog Snickers. For fun, he tries to read and write Chinese and learn how to juggle. Much harder than writing books!
