In Illinois’s redrawn 15th Congressional District, Mary (“Hitler was right on one thing”) Miller, endorsed by a defeated former president, is struggling in her primary race against fellow Republican incumbent Rodney Davis:
In the fourth quarter of 2021, Miller raised less than $165,000, bringing her election cycle haul through December 31 to $788,000. Davis, on the other hand, raised more than $1.8 million for his reelection campaign so far this cycle, including about $421,000 in the last three months of 2021.Rodney Davis is no bargain, but he’s at least a better choice than Mary Miller — which, admittedly, is not saying much.

European sensibilities perhaps, but reading about US election campaigns nearly always brings up how much money was raised. A sort of plutocratic jamboree. Not surprisingly those without moolah have their interests ignored.
I find it distasteful, but I’m happy about any clouds forming over Miller’s campaign.
“It”: the emphasis on money.
Well, you could live in KS where they are re-drawing the districts and several college towns are now being put in the same district with huge farming areas. See https://littleapplepost.com/posts/007336a8-b8ce-4136-aca8-0f566690993f
One of the KS Dems (KC area) is essentially losing half of her district. https://littleapplepost.com/posts/1347f138-f82b-4e78-9c1d-d51bfcb35888
A lot of R's are happy because that hippy-loving Lawrence (home of KU) will be in the same district as western KS.
This means that none of us in the district will get good service --after all it's six hours travel time between the east and west.

That’s nasty work. I visited Lawrence once (to interview Stan Lombardo) — I thought of it as Kansas’s Austin (though I’ve never been to Austin). It’s rotten not to have decent representation.
(Kirsten, a previous reply ended with “Hi hi.” I have no idea how those words got in.)
