| Fellow Conservative, Picture 2002. You were renting movies at Blockbuster, maybe flipping open that new Motorola phone to call a buddy. CSI was must-watch TV, and the first iPods were hitting the shelves, promising a thousand songs in your pocket. That was the last time a Republican won a full Senate term in Minnesota. Twenty-three years. For over two decades, Democrats have treated this state like their personal fiefdom—silencing conservative voices, pushing radical policies, and turning our Minnesota values into a punching bag for their far-left agenda. Enough is enough. It’s time to take our state - and our country – back. I’m Adam Schwarze, born and raised in the Twin Cities—St. Paul kid, Bloomington hockey player, and a former Navy SEAL and Marine Corps veteran. I enlisted on my 18th birthday, weeks after 9/11, because America called, and I answered. Nine deployments, 70 countries, leading SEAL teams through Iraq’s battlefields, commanding covert ops across the Pacific and Middle East, earning valor awards and early promotions—I’ve served with everything I’ve got. Now, I’m home, and what I see in Minnesota breaks my heart: skyrocketing prices crushing retirees, open borders flooding our communities with drugs and crime, and Tim Walz’s handpicked lieutenant governor, Peggy Flanagan, my opponent, ready to double down on the chaos. Peggy Flanagan? She’s Walz’s shadow: suing Minneapolis police while riots burned our cities in 2020, blaming law-and-order folks for her party’s failures, and now eyeing an open Minnesota Senate seat to push more tax hikes, fan the flame of culture wars not yet started, and spearhead policies that put illegals ahead of hardworking Minnesotans. Under their watch, crime spiked. Walz talks “Minnesota nice,” but his budget cuts and fiscal flops have left our veterans ignored, our police underfunded, and our neighborhoods less safe.  Here’s the spark: Recent polls from their own side show a generic Republican trailing by just two points. With United States Senator Tina Smith retiring, this seat is open for the first time in decades. Minnesota hasn’t gone red in a presidential race since Nixon in ’72, but the tide’s turning—Trump’s legacy is firing up folks like you, retired patriots who’ve built lives on hard work and faith. We can flip this seat, secure the Republican Senate majority, and give President Trump the muscle to drain the swamp for good. I’m running to cut taxes, back our police, secure the border, and defend the values you’ve spent your life upholding—family, faith, and freedom. We’re the underdogs, no question. Minnesota’s been blue since the days of dial-up internet. But I’ve led missions through worse odds—high-stakes ops where one mistake meant everything. Now, I need you to join me. Our last fundraising push got us halfway to our goal, but with Q4 filings looming and Flanagan raking in cash from coastal elites, we need $30,000 by Halloween to prove to the national GOP we’re the real deal. They bring the firepower; we bring the win. Chip in $3, $7, or $25 right now. You—retired vets, churchgoers, grandparents who’ve paid your dues—can fuel the ads, the door-knockers, the momentum to shock the system.  You’ve got a choice. Delete this and let Democrats keep choking our future. Or stand with a battle-hardened SEAL ready to fight—not with noise, but with the quiet professionalism that wins wars. Help me make it real. Because we built this country on sacrifice and resolve, and we’re not done fighting. For a better tomorrow, Adam Schwarze Republican Candidate for U.S. Senate Former Navy SEAL officer Marine Corps Veteran Proud Minnesotan
