Running for office requires money a lot of people don't have, even for local positions.
LOL starting price for me when I tried was $16,000 and that was just to get on the ballot in a minor position.
Not true. My wife ran and won for less than 300 dollars. It was a local city position, but still. It's more community building than finances at the local level.
Also, hold events for donations.
