John,

Our race could be one of the most expensive House races of 2022. That’s
not just because this will be a competitive race or because conservative
outside groups will pour money into Orange County. It’ll also be wildly
expensive because things in this race just cost more than they do in other
parts of the country. Here’s the deal:

* The L.A. media market is the second most expensive in the entire
country. That means it costs us $3 million dollars just to get one ad
up and running on TV. For comparison, this is 16x more expensive than
what it costs to run a TV ad in my home state of Iowa—a fact that blew
my mind when I first heard it.
* Orange County is a media desert. That means we have very few local
papers. Traditionally, candidates depend on good local news coverage
to get their message across to voters. But without much local
coverage, we have to invest more heavily in other (expensive) methods
of reaching voters—advertising online, on TV, and over the radio.
* In order to win, I’ll have to persuade swing voters. And that’s
expensive. It’s said that it takes 12 mail pieces to persuade one
voter. Here in historically red Orange County, we have thousands of
voters we need to persuade, so that’s a lot of mail. And because of
redistricting, I’ll need to reach many voters for the very first
time—meaning even more mail needed!

That’s why I have to gear up early and why I’m asking for your support.
