How do we find such people and get them to run in a political environment controlled by big money?

I don't. We need more like her in the US Senate.

Not everybody we love here aspires to federal office. In fact, Senator Warren has specifically stated that she is not interested. So why won't people here leave it at that?

I love her in the Senate. The people in Mass voted her into office. She apparently understands that this is her chance to make a big difference.

I am very comfortable with that.
