 John, My name is Adam Schwarze, and if this is your first time hearing from me, let me introduce myself. I was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1983 and adopted by Joel and Deb Schwarze when I was six months old. I grew up in Bloomington, where hockey was more than a pastime—it was a foundation for leadership and teamwork. After the terrorist attacks on 9/11, I felt a deep calling to serve. On my 18th birthday in October 2001, I enlisted as an infantryman in the United States Marine Corps. I deployed with the 1st Marine Division during Operation Iraqi Freedom, earning multiple valor and meritorious promotions awards. In 2013, I achieved my lifelong ambition by becoming a Navy SEAL Officer, serving with SEAL Team Three and later joining the elite undersea-focused enterprise of U.S. Special Operations Command. Over my 21-year military career, I deployed nine times to over 70 countries, conducting combat, intelligence, and humanitarian missions. Now, I'm stepping up to serve Minnesota in a new capacity—as a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate. The Stakes in This Race Are Enormous. I'm running against Tim Walz’s lieutenant governor, who is even more radical than he is. While Minneapolis was burning during the 2020 riots, she wasn't defending the people or supporting the police—she was preparing a lawsuit against the Minneapolis Police Department. Governor Walz wants America to believe Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are the Gestapo. His words, not mine. And this is who they call a “moderate.” So ask yourself: If this is what their moderates sound like, what is their real agenda? Every time the left doesn't get their way, they call Republicans Nazis. Every time we demand border security or want criminal illegal aliens deported, they call us bigots. But you know better—and so do I. Enforcing immigration law is not hateful. It's common sense. It's about protecting Americans. John, if you're sick of being called a Nazi because you want a secure border, then I’m asking you to pitch in $1, $5, or even $15 today.  Here's What I Believe: I believe that no one is above the law—especially criminal illegal aliens who commit rape, murder, and violence against American citizens. I believe in a strong border, deporting those who break our laws, and respecting the rule of law—no exceptions, no apologies. I believe that veterans, police officers, working families, and law-abiding Americans deserve a voice in the Senate—not professional politicians who mock us and ignore our communities. I've Never Run for Office Before. That's the Point. Unlike my opponent, I wasn't groomed for politics. I joined the military on my 18th birthday—October 2001—just weeks after the attacks on our homeland. I didn't run from duty. I ran toward it. While Tim Walz was dodging deployments, I was deployed nine times. I fought to protect conservative American values—the ones that raised me, the ones that made this country great, and the ones that are now under daily assault. Tim Walz hand-picked my opponent in the U.S. Senate race to be his lieutenant governor. We can’t trust him due to his past actions in the military and the governor's mansion, so it should go without saying that we can’t trust her, either. John, I'm asking you for something personal today—something I never thought I'd do: Could you donate $10, $25, or even $50 to help me launch this campaign the right way? Minnesota hasn't gone Republican in a presidential race since 1976. But we're not a deep-blue state. Not yet. With Senator Tina Smith retiring, this is our moment. The seat is open. The field is fluid. And I believe—with everything in me—that if we build now, we can flip this seat, and flip the narrative. I Don't Have the Media. I Don't Have Hollywood. I Don't Have the Swamp. What I have is grit, a record of service, and hopefully, the support of patriots like you who still believe America is worth fighting for. If you're tired of watching cities like Minneapolis fall apart while liberal elites cheer it on… And if you believe we deserve leaders who've fought for this country— Then I'm humbly asking you to join my team today.  With gratitude, Adam Schwarze Republican Candidate for U.S. Senate – Minnesota
