Thank you for being a contact person for the abusive email messages we've received throughout the campaign. I appreciate everything you have done to keep the Lemkaus safe. They're really good people.

I started working on Judge Lemkau's campaign because my Redlands buddy, Kyle McDowell, left me a voicemail stating that a family friend was campaigning to save his judgeship, and could I help improve the existing Web site. I looked at the far-from-great Web site, but before I could talk to Kyle about it, he died. Complications due to his lifelong struggle with Juvenile Diabetes.

This has been more than a campaign: for me, it's my darling friend's final request.

Thank you for helping me stay bold in the face of this work. I know that Kyle would thank you as well.

Sincerely yours,

MM
