“Mark my words: I am going to raise at least a million dollars and I’m going to win so that the people have a real voice in Washington, D.C.,” Watkins told VICE News after announcing his run in October.

Recent federal election filings show Watkins having raised only $32,942 in his bid for Arizona’s Second Congressional District, which includes parts of Tucson and a stretch of the Mexican border. The amount raised by Watkins trails his Republican primary opponents and the race’s two Democrats.

Watkins’ disappointing haul included a loan from his father, 8kun operator Jim Watkins, according to the Daily Beast.

“His first campaign finance filing came in, and it seems to support the idea that not too many people want Mr. QAnon himself in Congress,” said Kelly Weill, co-host of the Daily Beast’s Fever Dreams podcast.

On the Democrat side, Tom O’Halleran has raised $1.6 million, followed by Randall Friese’s $705,957. Of the other Republicans running, Eli Crane has raised $810,385 and Douglas Lowell $125,425.

Watkins was featured in Q: Into the Storm, a six-part HBO documentary series that looks at how the fringe QAnon conspiracy theory made its way into mainstream conservative politics.

A former administrator of controversial website 8kun, the message board was home to thousands of “drops” from Q, a mysterious figure with access to high-ranking government clearance. The drops described how former President Donald Trump was waging a quiet battle against a cabal of satanic, child-eating pedophiles secretly holding positions of power.

The movement has lost supporters since Q’s claim that Trump would return as president didn’t materialize. But it remains present in GOP politics.

Nearly two dozen congressional candidates running in the 2022 midterm elections have links to QAnon, an analysis by Media Matters found last year. That includes Representative Lauren Boebert from Colorado and Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene from Georgia.

The HBO documentary suggested that Watkins himself is Q, which he has denied.

Watkins has found traction elsewhere while campaigning. Last month, he was cheered at a school board meeting in Scottsdale after giving speech claiming Communists were indoctrinating children with “transexual propaganda and teaching them to be racist.”

Newsweek has reached out to Watkins for comment.
