Carter Wrenn
Carter Wrenn was born in Virginia, grew up on a farm on the Virginia-North Carolina border, studied history at the University of North Carolina; a friend offered him a job in a campaign—he never meant to get into politics but thought, I’ve had enough college. Working with Tom Ellis and Senator Jesse Helms, he managed Ronald Reagan’s North Carolina Republican primary campaign in 1976—the first primary Reagan won. He led national independent campaigns for Reagan in 1980 and 1984, Jesse Helms’ Senate campaigns, and campaigns for other conservative senators, congressmen, and presidential candidates.
For twenty years, he has published a blog—Talking About Politics—along with Democrat Gary Pearce; Gary and Carter seldom see eye-to-eye on issues but have been friends for over two decades.
Carter and his wife, Page, married in 1984—they are blessed with two daughters, Emily and Cress.

The Trail of the Serpent
Politics is a mess—what’s the cure? After living through WWII, Americans watched Soviet tanks roll into Saigon in 1975—we lost the Vietnam War. That changed politics. And Ronald Reagan was elected president. The Berlin Wall fell, the Soviet Union collapsed, we won the Cold War, threats vanished. That changed politics again. Washington politicians traded favors. Wall Street boomed. Working families staring at stacks of unpaid bills struggled to make ends meet. A reality TV star ran for president and won. Coronavirus struck; Trump fumbled. Biden beat Trump. Politics is a mess—what’s the cure? Carter Wrenn tells stories you don’t often get to read about politics and politicians in The Trail of the Serpent.
