I nearly lost my life fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan. But in the end, I was one of the lucky ones…I got away losing only two legs and part of my hand. I’m so thankful every day for every minute I get to spend with my four beautiful children.
 
Next week, though, is going to be hard. It’s the one year anniversary of the moment when Joe Biden allowed Kabul to fall to the Taliban. In doing so, he abandoned Americans behind enemy lines and sentenced countless of our allies to death.
 
I’ll be honest, the fact that the very mission where I lost body parts for my country was abandoned by a clueless President who’s still completely full of shit about the whole fiasco made me question whether my sacrifice was worth it at all…
 
It’s tough for every Afghanistan veteran. We lost friends there, . And Joe Biden showed it all meant nothing to him.
 
But, this has also served to harden my resolve to hold Joe Biden accountable for his failures. There is no way he deserves to have the words “Commander” or “Chief” anywhere near his title!
As if that wasn’t enough, though, there is another wrinkle making next week even more difficult…
 
Voters are already casting their ballots in Florida’s primary election, and I’m running in a brand new district thanks to redistricting. That means thousands of voters haven’t seen my name on the ballot before, and we’re running out of time for me to reach them before Election Day in just a few days.
 
All I’ve ever wanted to do was serve my country, but now I’m up against a RINO who would like to do NOTHING more than end my service right now. 
 
If he succeeds, it would be a disaster for the America First movement because the very same politicians who encouraged the FBI to raid President Trump’s residence are now helping Joe Biden shred the evidence about the calamity in Afghanistan.
 
Think about what kind of message that would send for our veterans, :
 
On the anniversary of one of the biggest betrayals of our troops in history…
 
…When 13 U.S. soldiers needlessly died…
 
…In President Trump’s own backyard of Palm Beach County…
 
…An America First fighter who fought in Afghanistan and was endorsed by President Trump could be defeated by a RINO who would vote with the Democrats on key issues.
 
That’s why this fundraising ask that I’ll include at the bottom of this email is one of the most important ones of the year.
 
This request isn’t just like the rest - it’s to show that we have our troops’ backs and will keep fighting to hold Joe Biden accountable!
 
So please, , this is personal to me - can I count on you to help us get out the vote?
Thank you for this show of support. It really does make a difference for me and other Afghanistan veterans!
