Don Ness

A lot of people in politics write books. Not so many take on the approach that Don Ness did with his book Hillsider. Ness took relevant and often humorous clips from his life in Duluth and terms as City Councilor and Mayor for the reader to take in easy to absorb bites. The narrative doesn’t drag on or grow weak because it keeps moving. We’re guessing you liked that because Ness takes a win for Best Author.
