Is There a Conflict of Interest?

Most people who run for elected office are themselves wealthy and they're usually white dudes. They can afford a security detail, but again, you do not face those kinds of threats the way women and women of color do. And so it's just like part of showing up and being a visible black woman, you're not afraid, whatever, whatever. I feel like we are creating a situation where the only people who can reasonably and safely hold public office are people who have independent wealth to pay the astronomical costs that are involved with security.
