Farmer served as the National Treasurer for four presidential campaigns: John Glenn, 1984; Mike Dukakis, 1988; Bill Clinton, 1992 and John Kerry, 2004. He was also elected Treasurer of the Democratic National Committee in 1989 where he served until resigning to work on the Clinton campaign. Although this was written as a memoir for his family, anybody contemplating raising money for a political campaign would be well served to read it.
