Happy Father’s Day,
John —
Today we honor our fathers and other figures who shaped us into who we are
today.
I want to take this moment to honor my greatest role model, my father, Ed
Schiff, aka “Boca Eddie.” He recently passed away at age 96. I’m missing
him a lot today.

I want to tell you about my dad. And I hope you’ll read along.
Originally from Boston, my father left high school early to join the Army
at the end of World War II. After his service, he used the GI Bill to
attend the University of Alabama but left early to get started in
business.
He chose the schmata — or clothing — business. Later, he got out of the
schmata business and bought a lumber yard, where he put me to work in the
summers.
My father taught me so much. When my dad was raising my brother Dan and
me, he taught us to believe that even when times are tough, you always
make sure to give back to your community.
He taught us to be good fathers, not by lecturing to us, but by showing us
how.
And he taught us to stand up to bullies. He taught us to never back down
from a fight when the cause is just — even when facing the toughest of
challenges.
These ideas have guided me throughout my life.
I found myself reflecting on his guidance during Donald Trump's
presidency, reminding myself not to yield to intimidation. Ultimately, I
realized that bullies are, in fact, cowards.
With my dad’s good advice always front of mind, I was able to take on
Donald Trump and hold him accountable for his abuses of power.
I’d like to think he’s proud of me. Just like I’m so, so proud of my
children, and the paths and lives that they’ve chosen for themselves.
I’m running for the United States Senate because everyone has the right to
a roof over their head. And all Americans should be able to put food on
the table and afford medication. And they shouldn’t have to live in fear
of a would-be dictator taking away their rights and freedoms.
My commitment to you is to keep up the fight for regular families just
like the one I grew up in. To uphold the great lessons my father taught me
— to do what I do best.

hope you will donate to my campaign to bring these values to the Senate.

This is the first Father’s Day I’ve experienced without my dad. I’m
holding a special place in my thoughts for him and for those who have lost
their parents.
And I'm wishing you all a very Happy Father’s Day.
Thank you.
— Adam
