Dear Michelle & Patrick,

If you've been watching elections like I have, all across
America we've seen questionable results in national, state, and local
elections.

It's clear that our rights, liberties, and freedoms are

currently under assault by the extreme progressive left.

But nobody seems to do much about it.

I believe this is irresponsible and just plain wrong.

My name is Monae Johnson, and I'm running for the Republican

nomination for South Dakota Secretary of State.

The nomination will be decided at the Republican State Party

Convention in Watertown June 23rd thru June 25th.

Like you, I love South Dakota. I was born in Brookings while my

father protected America during the Cuban Missile Crisis. I
graduated from Rapid City High School and attended Black Hills State
University. I am tremendously proud to be a 4th generation South
Dakotan.

And I want you to know I share with the majority of South

Dakota's citizens a commitment to the protection of unborn children,
defense of our Second Amendment rights, restoration of limited,
fiscally responsible government and traditional family values.

As well as being a proud mother of six children and a former

small business owner, I've served our state in various capacities in
the Secretary of State's office. And I've been integrally involved
in the details of the office serving the people of South Dakota.
 I've learned that the office suffers from high turnover which
means that things that are important to business owners, voters,
counties, and a well-functioning state, don't get done in a timely
manner.

That's why I'm announcing my candidacy for South Dakota

Secretary of State.

If elected, the watch words of my term will be E1ection

Integrity.

You see, without honest elections, trust in our democratic

processes and institutions simply disappears.

Our voter roles are some of the worst in the nation. For
example, there are 400 people registered to vote at alone particular
Walmart store!

As Secretary of State, I will make certain that your vote is

counted correctly. I will get South Dakota back on track and bring
integrity and honesty back to our voting process.

*** If elected, I will make certain that ballots are not sent out to
people who do not request them.

*** As your Secretary of State, I will work with counties to clean

up the voter rolls.

*** I will oppose any efforts to create online voting and voter
registration or online updates.

*** As your Secretary of State, I pledge that my administration will

be transparent and operate in the open.

*** As Secretary of State, I pledge to ensure that our government

protects your right to vote in honest and free elections rather
than undermining your vote.

So as to bring these issues to the voters this election season,

I must ask for your support. If you are a Republican delegate to
South Dakota State Party Convention June 23 rd thru 25 th I ask for your
support and vote at in Watertown.

Whatever you can afford financially will be put to immediate use

for the upcoming Republican State Convention in Watertown June 23 rd
thru June 25th.

So, won't you agree to make a generous contribution of $500,

$250, $100, $50 -- or whatever you can afford -- to help me with the
cost of my campaign?

Thank you, God bless you, and God Bless South Dakota.

P.S. If you agree that South Dakota needs election integrity, please
remember to vote on June 7th.

And I want you to know I share with the majority of South

Dakota's citizens a commitment to the protection of unborn
children, defense of our Second Amendment rights, restoration of
limited, fiscally responsible government and traditional family
values.

So, if you can, please fill out and return the enclosed issues
survey so I can know what issues are imporcanc co you as a
voter. Lastly, please consider a donation my campaign so I can
spread the word about my effort to uphold election integrity
