The High Road: Following the Campaign Trail for a Kinder America

By Tommy Zurhellen

Can kindness win an election in America?

In 2019, Navy veteran Tommy Zurhellen walked across America alone, to raise awareness on veteran homelessness and suicide in our country. In 2023, he embarked on another journey much more perilous: running for local office as a Democrat in the Republican stronghold of Dutchess County, New York. His platform? Kindness. His chances? Not good.

Can you win an election in America today with only kindness, and zero negativity? Find out in this humbling and humorous account of one veteran's descent into the strange and scary underworld of American politics.

All proceeds from The High Road will benefit Hudson River Housing's programs to help fight food insecurity and homelessness.
