Dear Republican Voter,
Why did the Naples Daily News (NDN) wait until the first day of early voting to publish a hit piece that implies that conservative Collier County School Board candidate Timothy Moshier is indifferent to antisemitism when he has denounced it?
Why did their reporter Rachel Heimann target him in a tweet last Saturday that claimed that he “didn’t see a problem” with antisemitic videos posted by his campaign manager? The truth is Timothy Moshier’s wife (who is Jewish) is his campaign manager, and she never did that.
Our values and traditions - and candidates who defend them - are under assault by progressive Democrats and their allies in the media. (Consider the coverage of the FBI raid of Presidents Trump’s home early this week.) The NDN is using fake news and selective reporting of facts to destroy Tim. That way, they can assure a continued liberal majority on the Collier County School Board. They know a win on August 23 for the three America First candidates we have endorsed for Collier County School Board would be a disaster for their progressive agenda.
The next Collier County School Board will oversee the education of 48,000 students each year, with an annual budget approaching $1.5 billion. Our endorsed candidates have pledged to protect parental rights and ban “woke” indoctrination and social engineering in our schools. And they will select the replacement for Kamala Patton when she steps down as School Superintendent at the end of this academic year.
Timothy Moshier has a vision for the education of our children that resonates with voters. He will not allow last-minute and despicable assaults on his character by the NDN and leftists to defeat him. His legal team has notified the NDN that their reporting about his alleged indifference to bigotry is “not only absurd, but false and defamatory.” They demand a retraction and an apology. (See their attached letter.)
Your Collier Republican Party stands with Timothy Moshier, Kelly Lichter, and Jerry Rutherford for Collier County School Board. I ask you to vote for them in this historic election.
Let’s defeat the Democrats and leftists and win this for all of our wonderful children!
Sincerely,
Frank Schwerin
Chairman, Collier County Republican Party
