Without a doubt there are many obstacles to running for public office and no person shouldconsider the daunting undertaking of a campaign or public service lightly. But with so many problemsconfronting our society, a reasonable person would think that there should be candidates aplenty trying toget elected so that “they” can be a part of “fixing” what ails us. But the data and trends are disturbing.They reveal a “supply side” problem in public life. In his watershed study of public involvement inelections Patterson revealed, “2Since 1960, participation has declined in virtually every area of electionactivity.”Why do we not have more choices at the ballot box? What is the number one reason that peoplechoose not to run for public office? Why is it so difficult to beat an incumbent? The answer to all of these questions should come as no surprise. Money, or the lack thereof, is “the” major obstacle facingmost candidates entering our electoral process. Certainly, the large amounts of money that incumbentsaccumulate, intimidates people from running. Even the Commonwealth’s Chief Elections Officer,Secretary of State William Galvin conceded ''3Even with the $1.7 million I have raised so far, it is anissue, especially in an era of self-funders. We are seeing a trend across the country…It makes it verydifficult for people with average means to seek higher office."
