Like all simple description it's wrong. It [electron] is a quanta of the electron field which is a fermion matter (spin 1/2, therefore is charged) subject to the Pauli Exclusion principle. Electromagnetism is one of the four fundamental forces mediated by photons which are its basic quanta and is Bosonic field (spin 1) and therefore are neutral. The interaction of these two fields is depicted via Feynman diagrams. Macroscopically observed Electrostatic field of a charged capacitor, is mediated by the superposition of virtual zero frequency (ν = 0) photons, which are off-shell and non-radiative. Field’s energy arises from the cumulative effect of infinite virtual photon exchanges. Whether virtual photons are "real" is debatable and confuses those who prefer intuition to computation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_particle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_particle
