| Figuring out where to start writing this email has been tough because the content of the copy you’re about to read is, quite honestly, absurd. I’ve spent most of my adult life in some of the world’s most dangerous places. I’ve seen what happens when governments collapse, the truth is suppressed, and strong men choose silence instead of standing up. But I never thought I’d see it here, not in America. And yet last week, sitting in a congressional hearing, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz was asked a straightforward question: “Can you define what a woman is?” He couldn’t. He wouldn’t. He dodged. He deflected. And then he sat in silence. Let me be clear — this wasn’t a trick. This wasn’t a “gotcha” question. This was the easiest test a leader can face: tell the truth, or bow to the mob. Governor Walz chose the mob. That moment — that silence — wasn’t just embarrassing. It was dangerous. Because when leaders abandon truth to protect their politics, it’s the people who suffer. And right now, our daughters, wives, sisters, and grandmothers are being erased in real time—not just from locker rooms and playing fields but from language itself. My name is Adam Schwarze. I’m a proud Minnesotan and a retired Navy SEAL. I joined the Marine Corps after 9/11 and served in special operations, deploying 13 times to over 70 countries. I didn’t just fight for this country — I bled for it.  And I never imagined I’d be running for public office. But something has changed. Something fundamental. When a governor can’t say what a woman is… When “men in women’s sports” becomes policy… When the truth becomes optional, and lies become virtue, that’s when I knew I had one more mission. I’m running for the United States Senate because I believe America is worth saving. But it’s going to take more than votes — it’s going to take backbone. I’ve seen the cost of freedom. I’ve watched friends give everything so that future generations could live in a country built on truth. I won’t let their sacrifice be undone by a political class too cowardly to speak plainly. That’s why I need your help today. Could you chip in $5 or even $10 right now to help me get my U.S. Senate campaign in Minnesota off the ground?  The Democratic Party isn’t just drifting — it’s sprinting toward something unrecognizable. First, they said men could use women’s bathrooms. Then they demanded that girls compete against biological males in school sports. Now, they claim they don’t even know what a woman is. And Governor Walz? He’s not a bystander. He’s a willing participant in this charade. His likely successor — my opponent — is even more radical. So if you’re like me — and you believe that biology isn’t bigotry, that America deserves leaders who know right from wrong, and that the truth is still worth defending — then I’m asking you to take action. Stand with me. Fight back. Let’s win this. With gratitude, Adam Schwarze Retired Navy SEAL Republican Candidate for U.S. Senate – Minnesota
