Hey, this isn't really a political email. But, I'm watching Zuckerberg testify on the Cambridge Analytica scandal, and I had to send all of you some thoughts.
It is profoundly embarrassing to me how little congress understands about this. It's clear from the questions, they don't understand digital advertising. They don't understand how this data theft threatens our democracy. They don't understand their role in creating this mess.
There are never, ever going to fix this because they don't understand enough to wonder about what they don't understand.
I wish I had some grander point here, except I am going to work twice as hard to win my election after this. If we don't regulate what Facebook is doing, our democracy can't function.
There's no marketing person sending you this email - it's me. If you have questions or comments - feel free to write back. I'll do my best to answer.
In the meantime, I hope you won't mind me reminding you, I cannot win this race without your help. We're going to have fantastic news soon about us getting on the ballot, our electoral strategy and our exciting new election strategy.
If you can, I hope you'll hit the button and support us.

All the best,
Bri
