John,

Our race is competitive, and it could be one
of the most expensive House races of 2022. I’ll cut through the BS and
tell you why:

* The LA media market is the second most expensive in the entire
country. That means it costs us up to $3 million 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 the state I grew up in, Iowa—a fact
that blew my mind when I first heard it. 

* Republican groups are already running six figures worth of online ads
against me. We have to run our own ads to counter their narrative, and
that takes resources. 

* 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 nearly 70% of our district’s voters for the very first
time—meaning even more mail is needed!
