In this eye-opening episode, Dave Kerpen faces the startling reality of political fundraising as he launches his campaign for town supervisor.

Tune in for a candid peek behind the curtain of local politics, where Dave aims to be "not famous, but known" as he navigates the uncomfortable but necessary world of campaign fundraising. You'll never look at political candidates the same way again!
