Donovan,<br>My discussion was of Moscow. I don't know any of the elected officials of the other cities in Latah County. A politician can raise all of the funds they need for the process and not use any of their own money. Of course, I am only speaking of the local level -city/county. If you can't do the "ask" you shouldn't run. If people are excited about you running, then they will donate. If you can't get donations you might consider not running or dropping out because they just aren't excited enough about you. <br><br>I know you know it takes a lot more than money to get elected. Ask anyone who has ever run for office. I was thinking that you had run some campaigns in the past. I don't know about campaigns at the college level, but I would think the donations would be slim and that would require more out of your own pocket? -Tom (Ivie)<br><br><b><i>Donovan Arnold <donovanjarnold2005@yahoo.com></i></b>

None of the city council members I know are particularly wealthy and most are far from it. The last school board election for where Dan and I live had two candidates that aren't rich. One of them lives across the street from me and has rented the house for 4 yrs. His signs were bought by Dr. Weitz.
