Depends what you mean by "significant financial backing".

People have won elections here in the last decade for the Federal House of
Reps with less than $5,000 spent on the campaign. That's Aus, not US, call it
$3000 US at the time. Of course they mostly spend more, but $100,000 US would
be way above average.
