if you’re a staffer in any comparable house office you can make those same fundraising connections
He was breaking records in his House race. It goes far above and beyond what your average first-time candidate can achieve. His promotion to Senate after the House defeat was a consequence of connections that he likely made with Lewis but go significantly beyond that.
It’s just the reality is most staffers like that have no interest in actually running for office, and progressives don’t have the same ability to fundraise that establishment insiders do.
I'll spot you the second, but plenty of staffers have their eyes on elected office.

I don't want to downplay the value of inside connections, but that election was basically the first one for a national office after Trump's win and I think it got an incredible amount of unusual attention and fundraising because of that.
And then the Dems still lost because Ossof represents nothing.

Well, now he represents the whole state.
Can't wait for him to be the guy that's like two notches left of Manchin.
