Rick Weiland: Congress should fight for people, not for big donors

[The four candidates debated at Dakotafest in Mitchell; they] discussed reforming campaign finance. Democrat Rick Weiland said, "People want honesty. They want to believe they are sending someone to Washington DC who is going to fight for them and not the big donors that are bringing them to the dance."

Weiland says he wants to restore honor to Congress. "We've got a government whose approval rating is less than 10 percent. It's because they are not representing the people anymore."
