Book Talk with Mark Sutton: How Democrats Can Win Back Men

Mark Sutton discusses his debut book How Democrats Can Win Back Men: Why Understanding Male Voters and Their Issues is Vital for Democratic Victory. A registered Democrat for 35 years, Sutton examines voting patterns, Democratic strategy, and policy decisions revealing the urgent need for the party to better appeal to male voters in 2024 and in the coming decades.

The margins of victory, particularly in key swing states, have been razor-thin in the last two presidential elections. If Democrats can sway just a small percentage of male voters, they greatly improve their chances of taking both the White House and Congress. Sutton shows how Democrats can reframe messaging and adjust strategic and policy decisions to increase their odds of winning in 2024 and beyond.

Praise for How Democrats Can Win Back Men

"How Democrats Can Win Back Men could be the most important book ever written toward both the re-election of President Biden in 2024 and reversing the loss of men to the Democratic party in the next decades if the people running President Biden's campaign implement its advice. Mark Sutton has made an extraordinary, well-documented, thoughtful contribution that needs to be absorbed by Democratic leaders at the local, state and national level."

- Dr. Warren Farrell, author of The Boy Crisis, and a Democratic candidate for Governor of California in the recall election of 2003

"In his amazingly well-researched book, Mark Sutton, a devoted Democrat, makes a plea to his fellow Democrats to care equally about today's boys and men's needs... His argument is overwhelming and convincing. If Democrats listen to his concerns, they have a better chance of winning this next election..."

- Vicki Lathom, Former president of the Washington DC chapter of the National Organization for Women and board member when Betty Friedan was president
