YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

If you want to make it to the top, you usually have to take down the person who’s already there — and, in American politics, you need money to do it. Lots and lots of money.

In this third installment of the four-part web series “She’s Running,” first-time candidates Deidre DeJear, Pearl Kim, Anna Eskamani, and Morgan Zegers must survive debates, raise voters’ awareness, and cajole donors into opening their checkbooks. Two of their opponents are experienced incumbents, which makes all that even harder.

“People know me, but not as much as they know him,” DeJear explained.

“You’re up against the status quo, which tends to have unlimited resources,” added Eskamani. The Republican Party of Florida has sent more than a dozen mailers hat depict Eskamani wielding a megaphone and shouting curses.

Each woman could make history in this year’s midterm elections on Nov. 6.
