money into disrupting the political system. leo linbeck is creator of the anti-incumbent superpac and joins me now. leo, good to have you here. really interesting, saying we know we ve been tallying up from both sides about what they know about the superpac money out there. you ve given $1 million of your own money and until recently hadn t voted in a primary election. why was this appealing to you? why did you want to get involved and do this? thomas, the root of the problem in congress is the cycle of incumbency. there s nothing wrong with incumbents or incumbency per se. congressmen should have to compete for their seat every time. the only place you can have that competition in 85% of the districts is in the primary. so we focus on creating competition in the primary and it s both parties. right? both parties have been responsible for this massive centralization of power in
choice. leo, how do you want to frame your timeline, then, moving ahead, as you look ahead to get this movement to have more attention for the foundational message of what you want to do to bring back, you know, new voices, competitive voices, to the hill? what s the timetable for you? well, we think the really big opportunity is in 2014. we re continuing to work in 2012. we re continuing to learn, build our organization, our capability, but 2014 is the big opportunity. right now, everyone is focused on the presidential election. right? it s but we re not a monar y monarchy, right? we re a democratic republic. and what s going to happen is, whoever s elected, whoever goes to the white house, congress is still going to be broken. so in 2014, this is going to be really clear, and we think we ll be able to come in with two more years of preppreparation, come really big and have a dramatic impact on way congress functions. leo linbeck, thanks for being
