Welcome to the age of Facebook campaigning here in the Golden State of California.
Yep. No longer do politicians hold "old school" press conferences to alert the media or their constituents that they are seeking yet another public office.
Sadly, those days are long gone.

Debra Bowen Exciting news: I’ve decided to run for Congress in the 36th District! Thank you so much for your feedback and support over the last few days. But now we face a short-term sprint: While the date of the special election hasn’t been set yet, it will be held in the next two to four months, so there isn’t any time to waste.... Can you make a contribution to help me get my campaign for Congress off to a fast start?

Deb is already begging for money in her first FB posting.
Gee. Democracy in Action.
Man has it changed.

Stay Tuned. This one could get real nasty.
