I’m thinking of running for my congressional district I have no political experience , but it’s getting so ridiculous with the sell outs that I’m wondering if I could do something. My wife would be horrified, I likely dont have the money and I’m not active in any party- but I’m of a mind that someone has to step in. I’m a vet with 20+ years in private sector fixing problems. I feel I’m being called but I also think its a suicide mission.
If you believe you are being called, then quite possibly, you should heed that call. Don’t be afraid of it being a suicide mission - it might not be. So, you have a 50/50 chance of winning. Which half of the glass are you looking at - half-full or half-empty?

Same thing happened to me years ago. I felt called to run for school committee in a moonbat town, just to “speak truth to power.” It wasn’t enjoyable, but I did it.
Looking back, I’m proud and glad that I did. I had a few heartfelt conversations along the way that made it well worth it.
Also, expect the worst from the media, and you won’t be disappointed.
People just won’t vote for someone they’ve never heard of, and one cannot become known unless he has the money to spend to allow the sheeple to become acquainted with you. And then the sheeple may not like you after you do all that for them.
Do it. I am also thinking of throwing my hat in the ring. If you lose, at least you tried.
reed- your not in Boneheads district are you?
Cuz StuckinOhio is running against him
I think you should do it.
Just get out there, and tell the story, your story, OUR story, just explain calmly why WE are so frustrated.
Most likely it won’t work out. But if EVERYONE of us starts doing his/her part, and we are all singing form the same hymn book, eventually, the tide will turn.
And who knows. Perhaps your race will actually catch fire and.....well???
I feel I’m being called but I also think its a suicide mission. .............................Take the risk, no risk no gain.
