If you have not yet, please take a moment to visit www.scottymortensen.com and see what we lost. I hope he does not give up the ambition to run for office again in the future be it state or federal. In an email to supporters:

I began this campaign as an ordinary citizen to run for US Congress to speak up for the interests of everyday people. Unfortunately, we have not generated enough contributions and support to continue. I now formally withdraw from the 6th District Congressional race. These 2006 elections are critical for Democrats to take every possible seat in order to regain control of one, or both houses of Congress to force Republicans to begin to deal honestly with the American people. I feel I can best help the Democratic Party by stepping aside now. In the coming weeks and months, I will be contemplating how I can best help effect political change in our state and nation. I wish to thank all those who have helped and contributed to my campaign. One of the best things that has come out of this is all the wonderful friends I have gained throughout the campaign, and that alone has made it worth it.
Sincerely,

Scott Mortensen

Perhaps drop him a thank you note. It is one this to complain online, but another to have the courage to run for office. Keep up the good fight Scott!
