democrat, anyway, but i was very serious campaign, raised over $1 million. it was a long shot to start with, but, you know, really proud of what i did to establish a serious and credible campaign. and about a month away from election day, a right wing blogger released these pictures of me at a party, fully clothed with the standard red solo cup that we all know so well. >> i've been there. >> in some fairly sort of provocative poses with actually my at the time husband. overage, no drugs. >> they're not that provocative. they're sort of tongue in cheek and jokee. >> it was a costume party. and the thing went crazy. within days i was once of the most googled things on the internet. it was just absurd. my whole campaign became about this particular thing. and the advice that i got from, actually, the women's campaign fund, which is an organization, bipartisan, that promotes women seeking office, was to address it directly. call it out for being sexist and then pivot back to the campaign.
