Elections Daily - Almanac of American Politics Special
Wednesday, 28 June, 2023
For more than five decades, the Almanac of American Politics has set the standard for political reference books. In July, the Almanac will be publishing its 2024 edition, with some 2,200 pages offering fully updated chapters on all 435 House members and their districts, all 100 senators, all 50 states and governors, and much more. Louis Jacobson is a senior author of the Almanac. Jacobson has written for seven editions of the Almanac, going back to the 2000 volume. Currently, he writes the 100 state and gubernatorial chapters. For the 2024 edition -- the first volume to be published after the post-2020 Census redistricting -- Jacobson also worked with chief author Rich Cohen to revise every congressional district description to reflect its new lines. Jessica Taylor is also a senior author of the Almanac. She became the first woman ever to hold that position in the book's 50 year history for the 2022 edition, and she was a contributing author to the 2020 edition. Becoming a senior author was a full circle moment for Jessica. After college she was an intern on the 2008 edition and then became the research director of the 2010 edition. She currently writes Senate profiles. Readers of Elections Daily can receive a 15 percent discount if they purchase the 2024 edition through the Almanac’s website -- hhttps://www.thealmanacofamericanpolitics.com/ -- and apply the code TAAP15CB at checkout. The offer is good through August.
