This\u200b surprising revelation came just \u2064two months after Rep. \u2064Michelle Steel (R-CA) assumed\u200c office, succeeding Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA).<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Life is short. I believe one should \u2063enjoy their work.

Despite claiming that the campaign\u200b was &#8220;going well,&#8221; Pai confessed that his\u200c heart was not fully invested\u200b in it.\u2062 The subject \u2063line of\u200d the email\u2063 read: &#8220;I am suspending\u2062 my campaign today. Thank you for \u2063your support.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, approximately\u2063 eight hours later, Pai sent\u2062 another \u200cemail retracting his previous message. He explained that the initial email was written\u200d as\u2063 an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-candidate-accidentally-sends-email-ending-campaign-only-to-reverse-course\/\" title=\"House candidate mistakenly sends email announcing end of campaign, quickly changes decision.\">emotional processing exercise<\/a> and \u200bwas never intended to be shared. Pai expressed gratitude for \u200dthe unintended exposure, acknowledging that thoughts of quitting\u200c had \u200dcrossed his mind. He described the experience of running for office as &#8220;hard and sometimes painful: &#8216;an MRI for the soul.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This is Pai&#8217;s first\u200c congressional campaign, as the 45th district was\u2062 previously represented by a Democrat before becoming an open seat when Porter decided to pursue Sen. Dianne Feinstein&#8217;s\u200d (D-CA) seat instead. \u2063Steel,\u200c who defeated incumbent Democrat Harley Rouda for\u2064 the 48th district, is \u2063now facing \u200ccompetition from Pai \u2064and three \u2064other Democratic candidates, \u200bas well as \u2063one additional Republican candidate.<\/p>\n<h3>Restoring Determination \u2064and Commitment<\/h3>\n<p>In a\u200c follow-up email, Pai \u200breassured\u2063 his supporters\u2064 that he\u200c remains dedicated\u200b to running, winning,\u2062 and serving them to the\u2064 best of\u2063 his ability.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here\u2064 to read\u2062 more from\u2064 The Washington Examiner.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Democratic candidate challenging Rep.
