A past candidate with disabilities describes his campaign trail challenges

Do you get to just quickly skim over this? I think it sounds really good. You ready to do this? The staff will help me throughout the day, only supposed to help me with the tasks inside the home. This does not include helping me on the register if this makes it pretty much impossible for me to help a worthwhile campaign. There is no way for me to handle fires or knock on doors, so I have to ask strangers to open the door for the creepy guy looking in the window. Then if I run the campaign trail and cannot get into an event, what am I supposed to do? Hello? Then I am trying to get into the event, but nobody sees me. Finally, I get someone's attention, and they have helped me. By this time, any credibility I had as a candidate is gone. Now, if anybody sent me a lie to open a seat, I'm caught. But how do I attend? government funding without any type of help. It would be way too taxing on my body. That's impossible. A person with a disability has a lot to offer in their life. In my mind, disabled people are the greatest advocates for change. Why? Most of us have a body which, for years, was the most basic of needs. All bodies needed in the town.
