The Financial Burden of Running for Office

If you’ve ever looked at the state of politics and thought, “What’s the point?”—this conversation is the reminder you need. I sat down with powerhouse activist Deja Foxx, who at just 25 is running for Congress in Arizona’s 7th district. She’s not just talking about change—she’s out there knocking on doors, refusing corporate PAC money, and pushing bold, progressive policies that impact real people, especially those who’ve been left behind by the system. We talk about the true cost of running for office, why reproductive rights are a financial issue, and what it actually takes to shake up a broken political system. If you’ve been feeling disillusioned with politics, Deja will remind you of what’s possible when we center lived experience and refuse to wait our turn.
