Flashes of Panic

Apparently the reason candidates for political office require so much money is because they waste huge amounts of it.

Consider this county treasurer candidate in Michigan who apparently bought a list of “entrepreneurs” (or small businesses?) and sent campaign mailings without running a simple filter to restrict the mailing to addresses in Michigan.

I’m having a hard time balancing the possible time savings of not doing that filter with the time and energy used to transport this card from there to Massachusetts.

I wonder if it’s possible to run a competitive political campaign that is also efficient?
