| John, I’m Adam Schwarze—former Navy SEAL Officer, Marine Corps veteran, lifelong Minnesotan, and proud son of two working-class parents. I’ve deployed nine times to 70 countries to serve the country I love. I never expected to run for the U.S. Senate—but looking at what’s happening in our state and nation, I know I have to. Minnesota is being led by two extreme voices: Governor Tim Walz and his lieutenant governor—my opponent—who is somehow even more radical than her boss. While our cities burned in 2020, she led the charge against law enforcement while Walz hesitated. That’s not leadership. That’s chaos. Meanwhile, crime has increased, small businesses have struggled, and our schools fail to teach the basics. The Minnesota I grew up in—where I learned to skate, hunt, and respect my neighbors—feels like it’s slipping away. I joined the Marine Corps on my 18th birthday—October 2001—just weeks after 9/11. I didn’t wait. I went. And for the next 20+ years, I continued to serve. Not behind a desk or on cable news, but in the field—on missions that mattered, often in places you’ll never see on a map. I don’t come from wealth or political pedigree. I come from hard work, long winters, and a deep desire to serve something bigger than myself. I earned degrees from Harvard, Johns Hopkins, and my MBA—not because I wanted to impress anyone, but because I wanted to serve better and lead smarter. Now, I’m taking that same spirit to this campaign. CHIP IN $10 TODAY Every dollar helps build a campaign ready to fight and win.  This won’t be easy. Minnesota hasn’t voted Republican in a presidential race since 1976, and, unfortunately, hasn’t had Republican representation in the Senate since 2009. But I’ve always thrived in harsh environments and never backed down from a challenge worth fighting for. And truthfully, I’m not running because I dreamed of holding office. I’m running because every time I came home from deployment, things seemed worse—more divided, less free, and further removed from the Minnesota and America I was willing to risk my life for. We need a new kind of leadership rooted in service, not self-interest. If you believe in what I’m fighting for, even $5 goes a long way. If you’re not ready to donate today, that’s okay. I just want to earn your trust in the weeks and months ahead. But if you believe—like I do—that Minnesota and America deserve better, please chip in now. Let’s take this fight to the Senate. And let’s do it together. You’ve done your part for this country. Let me do mine—will you donate $15 to help?
