Doris 'Granny D' Haddock was happily retired for over twenty years but when her husband died she needed a reason to live. So at the age of 90, she laced up her sneakers and walked across America to rally against the influence of big money in elections. At 94, she waged a quixotic campaign for U.S. Senate against a powerful Republican candidate. I got a real kick out of Run Granny Run the documentary that tells the story of that campaign. Knowing how gruelling campaigning is for folks half Doris's age I am awestruck by her energy and determination. I understand she's still going strong and still giving 'em hell in Washington.
