Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Florida Democrat and head of the Democratic National Committee, deployed her dog, “Demmy,” this week in an attempt to cajole some money out of supporters ahead of the midterm elections.
“Lately my kids have been asking if they can dress our dogs up for Halloween. I can’t blame them, either. I mean, wouldn’t Demmy look good as a superhero?” she posted on a blog on the DNC website under the headline “One really super dog.”
A photo of Demmy then follows, sans any clothing — Halloween-themed or otherwise.
“Unfortunately, (or fortunately for Demmy, who doesn’t want to wear a costume) Democrats don’t have much time for an extended Halloween celebration this year,” she continued. “This election is going to be a close one until the very last second. We’re neck-and-neck in important races in states like Wisconsin and Georgia, and we need to make sure we finish strong.”
The post closes asking if people will “chip in” $3 or more and a thanks from both Ms. Wasserman Schultz and Demmy.
