Summary: It would be hard to find a more unlikely senatorial candidate than Charlie Hardy, a former Catholic priest who spent nearly a decade serving the poor while living in a cardboard shack in a Venezuelan slum. In 2011, Charlie returns to his hometown of Cheyenne, Wyoming, and is shocked to see poverty, hunger and homelessness. After being snubbed by his congressional representatives, Charlie decides to run for office himself and he manages to receive the Democratic Party’s nomination for the US Senate in the 2014 midterm election, although he identifies as conservative. A 21st century Don Quixote, he galvanizes a ragged band of young volunteers determined to make waves in Wyoming’s elections, and in so doing set a precedent for the rest of the country.
