The Only Candidate for Congress NOT taking PAC Money (Video)
Running against Rep. Jean Schmidt (R) in Ohio

A Race Against Big Money

excerpted from:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/john-wellington-ennis/a-race-against-big-money-_b_739750.html

...in Ohio, I came across a candidate for Congress who has pledged a Clean Money campaign by taking no money from corporations, special interests, or PACs, Political Action Committees -- only one of two Congressional candidates to do so. Surya Yalamanchili -- or simply, "Chili" -- showed me how he has managed a streamlined campaign depending on individual donors while proving his moxie as a public servant by running his own show.

Chili was inspired to run by the hardships he has seen Ohio face, and believes that getting to Congress is a way to help his state. Chili believes that since it is the big money influence in Congress that has crippled our country, someone outside of that racket has to get there to be able to challenge it.

And to get that shot, Chili showed me the hustle he puts in. If Cincinnati native Pete Rose of the Cincinnati Reds was famously nicknamed "Charlie Hustle" for his tireless effort, Surya could surely be known has "Chili Hustle" for the legwork he does in the name of running a Clean Money campaign.

Here is a short doc about the grind of a political newcomer, pounding the pavement and showing where the money goes "when you can't pay to play with the big boys, but you still want to play."
