I recall a Republican consultant bragging about how cheap it is to buy a School Board or County Commissioner seat. The "down ballot" races that get little attention.

He said a couple thousand dollars along with professional advice from a political adviser will win most small town elections.

Wonder what Democrats are doing to counter this?
