Friend,

?

I had a big announcement to make last week. I was very excited to tell you that we are the first campaign in Missouri to hire regional coordinators all over the state, folks who are ready to help you in your communities, organize our neighborhoods, and win this important election for Attorney General (while helping a lot of candidates for other offices along the way).

?

I didn't get to do that. Not because it's not true. Some of you have already met these wonderful folks.?

?

I didn't get to make this big announcement and publish their names and bios and contact information because my family is being targeted online by a Neo-Nazi and his compatriots - including Missouri State Representative Sarah Unsicker - and they have asked their followers to track people affiliated with our campaign.

In the last few days, these people have openly discussed their plans to influence legislation in Missouri, including some plan to sequence the DNA of foster children through the Neo-Nazi's company. This isn't this guy's first time trying to get genetic business from government, and he previously wrote about racist genetic views involving Black, Asian, and Muslim people.

?

Now these folks have turned to my family and Missouri.

?

One of the first things I did when I started this campaign was publish multiple detailed plans about what I would do if elected your Attorney General. I travel around the state, call a lot of people, write and record and do whatever I can to talk about these ideas, to answer your questions, to show Missouri what we can have if we elect an Attorney General who works for us.

?

Even when I was asked about this whole mess on the Heartland Pod, we quickly turned the conversation back to these big ideas, because that's what this should be about.

?

We're going to sue scammers again. We're going to start Missouri's first Civil Rights Division in the history of our state. We're going to bring back a Conservation Division to protect our land, air, and water and force the federal government to clean up the radioactive mess it left us with. We're going to end puppy mills, take back our phones, and make sure that Missouri is a home that our kids are proud to live in.

?

I have always believed in the promise of America. I know that hatred and bigotry cannot defeat that promise because, every time we are tested, good people like you are ready to answer the call to stand up for what is right, and the purveyors of prejudice cannot withstand a united people.

?

My family and my team have greatly appreciated your support through all of this. It means so much to know we're not alone.

?

We are going through a few final security checks before I get to make our big announcement, so I hope to get you some good news soon. And I know that you'll be as excited as me when you get to meet our wonderful and growing team.

?

?

Always Yours,

Elad
