What would you do if experts told you to spend 90% of your time asking for money?
In this eye-opening episode, Dave Kerpen faces the startling reality of political fundraising as he launches his campaign for town supervisor.
Is it really possible to raise a million dollars in just eight months? Dave shares his struggle with this daunting task and the awkward reality of asking friends for donations — including what happens when you see someone at the grocery store right after they've turned you down!
Why are some lifelong Republicans making their first-ever political donations to Dave, a Democrat? And how does Dave plan to avoid the trap that snares so many politicians, where big donors expect special treatment in return?
Tune in for a candid peek behind the curtain of local politics, where Dave aims to be "not famous, but known" as he navigates the uncomfortable but necessary world of campaign fundraising. You'll never look at political candidates the same way again!
