Friend,
"Do you believe the 2020 election was stolen?"
That was one of the questions we received at an Attorney General candidate town hall in Springfield this week. Here's what Attorney General Andrew Bailey, his Republican primary opponent Will Scharf, and I had to say.

This was toward the end of the town hall. You can watch the whole event on YouTube [[link removed]] . Right after this clip, you'll see me interacting with some folks in the crowd, which continued well after the cameras stopped rolling.
We've added timestamps in the video description so you can navigate to the questions.
Other notable moments:
*
Attorney

is
supposed
to

*
Bailey
told
the
crowd
that
he
agreed
that
the
gambling
machines
in
gas
stations
were
illegal
but
forgot
to
mention
that
he
dropped
representation
on
an
important
case
against
the
illegal

machine
companies
after
he
received
campaign

*
I
was
the
only
candidate
promoting
smaller
government
that
stops
intervening
in
family
and
local
decisions,
which
got
a
lot
of
folks
in
the
crowd
wondering
why
Bailey
and
Scharf
were
advocating
for
increased
government
involvement.
This
was
a
huge
point
of
discussion
after
the
town
hall
ended


*
Scharf
came
out
against
"left

dark

nonprofits"
while
his
campaign
is
funded
in

by
billionaire

of
right
wing
dark
money
nonprofits,

and
his
former
boss

Greitens
-
participated
in
a
corrupt
scheme
to
hide
the
identities
of
his
political
supporters
using
dark
money

Like I told the crowd, the race for Attorney General shouldn't be about party or dividing Missourians against each other. It should be about hiring the person who will do the best job for us, who will represent our families, and who isn't compromised by big corporations and big donors looking to make even more money off the rest of us.
Unlike our Attorney General, I stayed for quite some time talking to folks in the crowd. One woman said, "You're the most sane Democrat I've ever met." I told her she should come hang out with a few more of us. We received invitations to meetings in southwest Missouri with folks who don't typically vote Democrat.
This is the type of outreach we've been working so hard on, and it's working. Thank you for investing in our campaign. It's because of you this event even happened, and it's why we're able to bring these town halls to everyone who wants to watch. If it was up to our Attorney General, none of this would have been recorded.
If you haven't already, make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel [[link removed]] and to the EladPod wherever you get your podcasts. The audio for this town hall will be up there soon. We've got more events coming your way!
And a very special thank you to all of the folks who came out to support us in Springfield. We'll be back soon!
Let's get this done.
