Think You Can Win An Election?

Only if you have more money then your opponent. According to Fair Elections RI, candidates in Rhode Island who raise the most money win their elections 97% of the time. What's the average money raised for a successful run for a seat in the Rhode Island General Assembly? I calculated that it's about $27,000.
