Hi there -- I just wanted to follow up on Alyssa's email (forwarded below). I was shocked to read the article she mentioned in the Voice of Orange County.

My opponent has made some ridiculous comments about coronavirus, like when she said it was "species discrimination" that humans have to wear masks even though dogs shouldn't. However, I was incensed that she would downplay coronavirus numbers and seemingly deceive the public on how coronavirus has impacted our county. 

We must ask for more from our public officials and demand transparency from those in charge of our county's response to the crisis. 

I'm asking if you'll donate to our campaign today because I will strive to be as open and honest as I can be -- and I hope you'll always hold me accountable to that. Can you donate today?
 

Thank you!

Since the start of this pandemic, our opponent, Michelle Steel, has been overseeing Orange County's response to COVID-19. At best, her performance has been haphazard; at worst, it's been dangerous.

Now, she's making completely false claims about how she's handled this crisis and how her response stacks up to the rest of the state. It's just adding insult to injury. 

Will you take a few minutes to read about how Michelle Steel misled the public on her coronavirus response?

In the midst of a global health emergency that has claimed the lives of thousands of people, falsely buffering your county's statistics is more than just inaccurate -- it's morally reprehensible. 

It also shows how important it is to elect someone who will tell the truth, even if it doesn't make them look good. 

I know Harley is that leader, but we need your help to send him back to Washington. Will you donate today to help us re-elect him?

Thank you!
