John -- this probably won't shock you, but the absolute worst part about running for Congress has been asking people for money.
This is me: feeling like Kristen Wiig in “Bridesmaids”
Before becoming a candidate, I remember getting
*bombarded* with desperate, hair-on-fire emails from other Democrats.
I hated them then, and I still do now. That's why I made a promise to myself (and my team) that we'd never use the obnoxious scare tactics you might be used to.
But the truth is that the *vast majority* of our contributions come in on emails like this one. I don't have millions of dollars to self-fund this campaign, nor am I being backed by big special interests the way my opponent Ken Calvert is. That’s why I have to rely on my own (bad) sense of humor and publicly-available GIFs like the one above.
Today is the LAST DAY to help us meet our $100,000 July fundraising goal. My team tells me we're very close, so if you haven't yet, please help us by chipping in $3 today.

You’re the best,
Will
