Hey team, it’s Sean Casten, AKA Chef Sean.

It’s not summer in my house until I’ve started my annual batch of Sean’s World-Famous Fermented Hot Sauce. (It’s THAT good, trust me.)

Exhibits A & B:

As much as I’d like to ship a gallon of this stuff to everyone reading this email, we don’t exactly have the budget for industrial hot-sauce manufacturing. Especially not while things here in IL-06 are “heating up” ahead of our FEC filing deadline.

So, friend, help me kill two birds with one stone: Chip in a contribution to our campaign, and I’ll send you my very detailed, step-by-step hot sauce recipe so you can try this deliciousness for yourself!

Our recipe for success tastes so much better with a dash of grassroots support from you. If you’re feeling “saucy,” pitch in a few bucks today.

Thank you, and keep an eye out for my recipe! I can’t wait to see what you cook up.

— Sean
