Focus on the grassroots and reach out to the grassroots movements even from other states that can help you organize. Who has the most money in a campaign still matters, but it doesn't matter as much as it used to, especially if you have a strong grassroots campaign behind. We've seen politicians win with 1/10 of the funding of their opponents recently using this strategy.
If anything, you may find bigger obstacles from the inside the big parties, which will use every technical trick in the book to make you lose against their pre-selected primary nominee. So in some cases, you may have a better shot running as independent, but that very much depends on the local politics and the help you request from certain grassroots groups, which may prefer you to be in a certain party.
