KCTS 9 Connects: October 17, 2008

Running For Office

Sick of politics as usual in Olympia and Washington, D.C.? Think you could do a better job? Maybe you should run for office.

But wait! Is it even possible for a newcomer to run for public office anymore? In this episode of KCTS 9 Connects, we try to find out.

Join us as we profile three candidates running for the open seat in the State Legislature’s 36th District. The one thing they all have in common: none has ever run for office before.

How much time, effort and money does it really take?
Can a political novice break through the tyranny of money
and the culture of connections that rule politics today?
