A top fundraiser for Pete Buttigieg offered a donor the chance to 'get on the campaign's radar' in exchange for money

Mayor Pete Buttigieg is under fire again for his campaign's fundraising strategy.
A top fundraiser to Buttigieg's campaign, Washington consultant H.K. Park, told a potential donor in an email that they should give money to the campaign in order to get on its "radar," appearing to sell access to the candidate.
"If you want to get on the campaign's radar now before he is flooded with donations after winning Iowa and New Hampshire, you can use the link below for donations," Park wrote to an unnamed donor.
The donor, who spoke with Axios and requested anonymity, characterized Park's offer as "pay-for-play."
"It's very telling and concerning that one of the campaign's major bundlers would talk like that," the donor said.
