Ryan Gilbert is running in a packed Democrat primary in August to determine who will run against Estes in November.
In this section, Gilbert talks about the money barrier in congressional campaigns and says he wants to show support through people, not just dollars. He says he may not have the $300,000 that gets candidates taken seriously by the political establishment, but he wants to walk into the race with people behind him instead of corporate money. The conversation also connects campaign donations to political accountability and the question of who candidates work for once elected.
