Jack Wilson attended the DFA Training Academy in Nevada earlier this year. He took his newfound knowledge and created a political upset in Prescott, Arizona yesterday:

Challenger hangs onto lead to become Prescott’s mayor-elect

PRESCOTT - When Jack Wilson entered the race for Prescott mayor this past spring, he knew he faced a daunting challenge.

"It was clear to me that I was up against strong odds," Wilson said, noting that his opponent, Rowle Simmons, was a three-term incumbent mayor with solid name recognition.Wilson, a retired information technology executive from Chicago and seven-year resident of Prescott, determined that he needed to play to one of his strong suits: Organizational skills.

For the past several months, Wilson headed a sophisticated election campaign that featured regular Internet newsletters, a cadre of volunteers, and extensive voter-registration research.

The strategy paid off: On Wednesday, the City of Prescott and the Yavapai County Recorder's office released unofficial election results showing Wilson to be the mayoral winner in Prescott's Sept. 11 primary.

The day after the primary, both mayoral candidates acknowledged that Wilson's campaign efforts likely made the difference in the outcome.

"It took an amazing amount of effort to pull this off," Wilson said, adding that his group stuck to a campaign plan and worked right up until 6 p.m. the night before the primary.
