Scott Brown Plans Book

You gotta have a book. And the man with the truck will soon be the man with a book.

Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.), the party’s hottest elected official, has decided to write a book that combines memoir and inspiration (of what sort I wonder…).

Gail Gitcho, his new Senate communications director, tells POLITICO, “Senator Brown is honored and humbled to be approached by many people who want him to tell his inspirational personal story about his life leading up to his election as a United States senator from Massachusetts. He will tell his story in a book in hopes of providing insight and encouragement to others and also to ensure that the record is complete and accurate.

“Part of the book proceeds will be donated to charity,” Gitcho continued. “Senator Brown will work with a collaborator so he can continue to focus fully on his service to the people of Massachusetts, which is, and always will be, his first priority.”

Brown has hired Williams & Connolly’s Bob Barnett, the city’s leading counsel to politician-authors, to help him through the process.
