Happy birthday to him

I'll say this: Felix Arroyo gets right to the point. Check out the first few lines of the latest Felix Field Report:

Friends and supporters,

I have two important announcements for you. First is my birthday party, which will take place next month. Please be as generous as you can when making your donation. A mailed invitation will follow - credit card link is below.

Presumably, cash and checks are also acceptable.

If you're thinking times are tight over at Arroyo HQ, you're correct. As of March 15, according to the Office of Campaign and Political Finance, the at-large city councilor and progressive darling had just $479.47 in the bank.
